My new adventure with Gordon Trucking

Lol yea I have noticed between this thread and his, that he dislikes those who succeed or succeeded during their time at Gordon where he failed. So all those who do well are liars and cheerleaders for Gordon because he couldn't figure out how to do so. Oh well, Im sure he will call me to the carpet as well lol.

 

tow614, you're always good for a chuckle. truckinmike1984 says:

I think I've pointed out numerous times that someone with a couple years at Roehl, Crete or similar can do well at Gordon out the gate. That's not the typical rookie experience, though. It is a big system to learn and awash with 0-300 mile loads that will cause the rookie to donate a ton of uncompensated time to Gordon.

I would like to see this thread allow for that, moderate the macho cheerleading and point up realistically how long it will take to earn those chops. I still see Gordon as a learning experience that I'm thankful for. Just not the pee-wee pay! But it was, overall, a good experience...

Just not a big 'rah-rah-rah-sis-boom-bah' experience. I could have done a lot worse! I see Gordon as 'one of the best' (good equipment, terriffic driver support, safe place to park CDL) of the worst (lousy short loads, pee-wee pay).

I made more $$ before Gordon (full-time) and I'm making more $$ after. Part-time!

 

Not at all. I have the utmost respect for your experience, joseph's and some days even tow614's.

 

Good debate, Gents! I have been following this thread since day one and I love it! Not because I like Gordon, but because I have trendous respect and admiration when someone puts their life on a forum and its awesome to watch them succeed.

 

Where do you get he is bragging or misleading anybody? I've followed this thread from the beginning. I do not see any bragging in his posts nor, do i see anything misleading. What he has done is find a way to make it work for him. All I see is Joeseph explaining how he makes it work. What he said is true in any job. You have to give a little, be a team player and work hard to be successful. That is not kissing up, that is called working for your employer and not against your employer. Butt kissing is a whole different level.

 

The ones who are often the most vocal with complaints are the ones who show up late, and leave early...

 

You know Victor instead of just crying about the company you should have been getting advice from some of the people that make it work. I think off the bat that you wanted a part time job with a full time company and full time wages.
