    A whole two weeks???? Talk about putting your best foot forward and giving your best effort. You said if you wanted to haul garbge, you'd do it for the city of Atlanta. I doubt even the city of Atlanta will hire you to do that because of your abandonment. The city would think, what if he quits in the middle of a route?

    Good luck, man. But you just screwed yourself.

    :biggrin_25513: You could of just taken the truck back to the yard, gave the keys to the shop and then gave notice. One more thing, 2 weeks in and you automatically judge them? I don't know. I tried j.b. hunt for 4 months before deciding not to continue with them, even after the fact they were screwing with me the first month.

    yah 2 weeks is lame, they would really have to be screwing you for that to be lagit. lol not i dont like my run so im leaving after 2 weeks.

    15 dollor tarp pay, well you agreed to it or you didnt bother to look into it. in any event it your fault for not look into the pay.

    32 cents per mile not 34, i bet that was due to lack of experiance. they could only verify to the 32 cent mark. there again your fault, save your first and last log with the company and its not an issue to prove your experiance.

    there is always pizza delivery

    I'm like the others posting here.
    A whole 2 weeks? Then leaving a trk. at a trkstp.
    Have fun taking orders at McDonalds.
    Oh wait I tried that and lasted 2 hours. Got tired of taking orders from people. Sign me up for welfare and food stamps, because the world treats me bad..:smt022:smt022

    Because he can't take criticism and the hard facts very well?? That's my guess.

    Oh, that's right. He's putting in an application with the City of Atlanta!!!

    I gave JB about the same amount of time even though they sucked from day 1. You have to give a company a few months to learn the in's and out's and how it is run before making a decision to move on. 2 weeks is in no way, shape or form long enough
