I'll take idiot recruiters for $100, Alex

I got that line at CRE. I must be driving the only Cascadia in the fleet with over 500,000 miles.

 

Werner once told me I will never get to meet the company president, and they were right! I never did.

 

no never....

 

Home weekly? No problem. We have 3 flatbed divisions. If you decide to stay out that won't be a problem either.... then I am going on the board and I hear... sorry; you will need to go in the national div... 4-6 weeks and home is just around the corner.... and the winner is prime....

 

Hopefully you followed the "rules" on how to give that notice and what you need to do BEFORE you burn the bridge and cover your arse!

 

"Werner cares"

 

What company is that?? I need to make sure I never dial that number!

 

We are family oriented

You'll be a name not a number, they just forgot to mention your name would be a profane one!

 

Virtually every company I have ever driven for has lied about Miles and Home Time.

And I'm not talking about "off by a few miles each week", or "off by a day or two on home time"----I'm talking about, such a drastic difference between what they told you, and what you actually got.....that it was an obvious blatent lie rather than a slight miscalculation.

If companies could/would stop lying about these particular two subjects, the industry would be a lot more tolerable (for me any way).
I understand BOTH can be a little unpredictable with the fluxuation of freight and region....but come on.....don't tell me your fleet average is 2,700 miles a week....and I'm the only truck getting 1,900 consistantly!
Also, don't tell me you get your drivers home every week, or every other week at the most.....and then it seems I am the only truck in the fleet that is sitting at a truck stop 400 miles from home over the weekend consitantly, weeks and weeks on end.

TELL ME RIGHT UP FRONT WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR ME....NOT WHAT YOU THINK I WANT TO HEAR!!!

 

Alright, these are some lines I got:

We have all brand new trucks in our fleet.

I must be driving the only truck with over 500,000 miles

Tolls are reimbersable

Only tolls that use E-Zpass are reimbersable. I have yet to be reimbersed on tolls that use K-tag. If routed on I-44 through Oklahoma I will bypass that toll and take US-71 ---> I-540 ---> I-40.

We have a driver friendly lease program

No one does.

Our training program lasts 3 months

I was done and in my own truck in 3 weeks.

You will be home once a month

In a year with the company, I've been home a grand total of 3 times for a total of 4 days.
