PAM Driver - Ask me anything.

Hope so.. it was yours. Hehe

 

"Penny-A-Mile Trucking" that's hilarious! LOL ... Is that for real?

 

Yup picked up at Allison Transmissions in Baltimore and had to take the picture.

 

You still have the paperwork from that trip?

 

Nope trashed it, that's why I took the picture.

 

I would like to know bout this escrow thing with PAM.....I want my money back....they are full of ####.....from taking a payment, they took the whole thing out. Now I resign, they don't want to give the money back....

 

When you quit, did you leave the truck at an agreed upon location? And did you get that in writing? If not, you screwed yourself out of $400.

 

Was the truck in need of repairs? They use your escrow for that too

 

Ok so i know i screwed up i'm a new student i'm about to go to c1 trucking next week to start training to go to work for pam i'm hearing all this stuff and it seems like a nightmare what i need to know is how bad is it going to be for me .. i have no family and less than 600$ a month is bills but if i do this and still cant make my bills what is the point, i know all starter trucking company's are supposed to suck that's part of paying your dues for the industry and i know im going to be miserable for 90% of the time but, is it doable can i make my bills and stay alive don't wanna do it just to be backrupt in 6 months but i'm scared i'm making a huge mistake but cant see a way out or around it my dad and grand dad were truckers R.I.P i need a job i want to be one too but i cant afford schooling at all ive safed every penny i can get for the last 4 months just to be able to support myself long enough to get through the school process but if i wast this money and don't make it ill be living in the shelter the minuet i'm done with school and that worries me

please any advice spitfireadf2010@yahoo.com

 

Going into any commitment is a tough decision. I know it took me about 6 months of calling the driver solution recruiters to finally make the leap. Yes it still is a gamble when u get to school. Yes it'll suck more times than not, especially in the seemingly downward trend PAMela is heading in ... But if u are in a situation that calls for desperate measures ... No one on this forum can tell u what to do, its ure decision, ure fate, ure hardship to go thru. Luckily for me, this has worked out; much like urself I was taking a risk in buying a $300+ bus ticket to go to C1 not making a dime for the 3 weeks I was there and the bills were piling up... But sadly not everyone that took that leap is where I am today ... Some didn't even make it past the first day. Some quit six months in ... I guess you should ask urself what will u lose or gain from all this. Check your alternatives and choose wisely. Best of luck
