Got a packing list from my trainer: Why a crowbar?

stay away from covenant and prime . i started with covenant just cause my mother had been with them for 15 years so i trained with her , i got lucky on that part . she even got tired of their crap and quit . i wouldnt go with shaffer or crete either , i dont know personally what their training is like , but i ran for both and i was lucky if i got 1500 miles a week . shaffers truck broke down on me in chicago on my 1st run with then and they left me there , 1000 miles away from home . stay away from werner they falsified paperwork on me and ive seen firsthand how their training goes . every one i have talked to has said u.s. xpress out of chattanooga is one of the best . good luck

 

ive heard alot of good things about tmc from former drivers but then again they are former drivers

 

I would of told you to pack a "Snickers bar" or a "Three Musketeers bar" myself.

 

crowbar=persuader. You could definately pursuade someone to leave you alone quickly.

 

to pry his foot from your but. just kidding.

 

why don't you just ask the trainer

 

It'll come in handy to keep the lot lizards away.

 

For a new driver looking to enter the industry I would highly suggest Schneider. That is where I started 17 years ago and I'm glad. The training hasn't changed much since then. Get 2 years in with them and then a lot of other doors will open.

 

I would no more drive for Covenant than I would sprout wings out my ### and fly to Timbuktu! Wait...I do "drive" for Covenant. Well, if you like driving team with 3500 to 4000 miles per week, and maybe paid once a month for a week's worth of labor, then Covenant is the company for you!

And let's not forget the search for a teammate who will HOPEFULLY not be a homocidal ax-murderer, and MAY have a clue how to drive without parking the truck up a tree or something.

 

It's kinda like a fire extinguisher. I'd rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.

I can think of 3 potentially bad situations that were averted by me possessing a crowbar.
