    .................. only for experienced drivers. SUCKS!!!!!!! :biggrin_25510:


    Wish they would make that clear on the website. Hugely disappointed when the recruiter told me that on the phone.

    Did anybody without experience get a sign on bonus?

    Companies like that will get their bonus money back plus some! It's nothing but a worm on a hook. If they are a good company they don't need bonuses to attract drivers.

    They pay out over a period of time to keep you there and not take a loss. Just another trick of the trade. Many pay out like $500 once a month and you get all excited for that check. Then you wonder why it is only $700. Well dang at another company I would of made $1000 with no bonus. :)

    It's kind of like satellite TV. You think you are getting a good deal the first year but they are still making money off of you. Then the second year they really make money off you.

    I've done some bonus hopping early in my career. It's not worth it. Just find you a good company based on their reputation, driver reports and you'll be happier and make more on that W-2.

    We're trying to figure out what exactly is being offered now. On their site it says 8k, recruiter said there was no recent graduate team bonus, other people on here have said they got a bonus when they signed up as a new graduate team,

    I don't know why the recruiter said no bonus for new grads when the text I got says they are!
