Do NOT be Ignorant - PAM Transport

Only thing is you might have troubler getting home. Not saying it will be impossible. Just hard.

 

I m a recent grad from c1 trucking school in fort Wayne , I have signed on with Pam .This Friday i find out when to expect my trainer .I heard all kinds of good things and bad things about Pam .I just have so questions and was hoping you all could answer them for me. 1) How long are you out with you're trainer before you return home?2)what's the next step after you're done with you're trainer . I heard something about an orientation what happens there?3) I have signed on for team how bad is it running teams?4) How old is the average tractor?

 

I answered these in the other thread.

 

i use to work for pam up to last week i had 2 differant trucks my first truck was in the shop more then i was driving it and my 2nd truck was same way it was in the shope fopr 11 days to me it was deff pams fault plus when i broke down they left me sit on the side of the road for 8 hours after i even put a message on the qualcom i was in a dangerous situation

 

Yeah, it was definitely their fault, even though I doubt you did a thorough inspection daily. Granted, the shops were indeed crap at times, but still... I had two trucks that I ran well over 500k, and the only reason I was in a shop for either of them was for a blown radiator. I may have just got lucky...but to put full blame on them cuz you broke down...makes me chuckle.

 

looking for a good company to go to work for, have not been OTR since 05 but stayed driving local have fellony in 04 any good advice I live in flordia

 

Laughable.

So that entire 8 hours all you did was send in one Qualcomm message?

 

LMFAO

Dude..it wasn't what damage you did its that EVERYTHING you did was a PREVENTABLE situation to the company

You put yourself and their truck in the situation that caused you to have to turn tight and damaged the truck..

You put Yourself in the situation that caused the side swipe by not monitoring what was going on around you as you were driving..both are preventable an the eyes of the company and DOT

The broken hinge bolt on the hood could have caused excess vibration in the hood causing the other hinge bolts to either shear off or vibrate loose causing the hood to separate itself from the truck and cause you to wreck or cause someone else to wreck or worse kill someone and checking those sorts of things are kind of your job to look at each day..

an 18 wheeler is not a car..you can't just whip it around a tight 180 and not expect the tractor to touch the trailer..

If it had bee my truck I would have made you pay for the damages..then fired you simply because your brain was in neutral

Wow

This maybe an old post but its crazy to do stupid things and blame the company. And then throw in the race card as the original poster stated. Wow

 

I'm lost...better read backwards..lol
