CONFUSED????

ive been reading alot of the post on this site and there are alot things said about how bad these companies are. as a newbie it kinds of deters you from getting in a career in t/t o.t.r industry. what i dont understand is when post are put up about companies firing newbies for any little thing.

why recurit some one offer to get them there class A put them up while they train, pay for there transportation from there state, pay for d.o.t physical,drug test feed them while they are in training shell out this money and then turn around and fire them to me thats a waste. a waste of my time and a waste of the companies time ' i thought time was money'

i would think that shelling out that kind of money the would look at it as a investment? and if so firing a newbie is like letting your money walk out the door i understand as a newbie you sign a contract for this money(4500-5000) and you will get hit for this bill if you quit or get fired. im sure this money is insured (collection agencey) but why would a company go through all of this to make money and screw up someones credit and life??

i respect the info. that is giving on this site and the pit falls to look out for when somone like me a newbie is looking at a career change. cause i look at driving t/t as a career.you would think that these companies that offer training for newbies that firing them for the littles thing would be the thing theydont want to do??why not cater to newbies and look at them as a investment.

why fire a newbie because when they assign him/her to a trainer and they are not making with this trainer (everybody doesnt have the patience to train) why not just give the newbie a new trainer why think the trainee as a problem and turn around and fire him/her why would a trainee LIE on the trainer. i was allways told you can get fired from a trucking job quick fast is 1-poor attendance 2-accidents 3-stealing from the job. not because you didnt get along with someone.

some of this stuff i read is crazy, BUT IT IS REAL,and crazy at the time.im looking a career in t/t industry cause ive been driving straight truck for 8yrs. and there no monrey in straight truck everyone is making the change to t/t so im changing to and the money is much, much better. i know driving a straight truck (local) isnt like o.t.r and the guys that drive t/t at the company ive work for dont go through half of the stuff that gets posted on thi site .

this is not to say that i wont log on to this site and read the post i will still put up some post myself. cause im getting ready to go with one of these o.t.r companies and get the training to get my class A i hope i dont go through half this s*** i read on this site i really like thi site i really do .

 

thanks for that input. i feel thats why companies get burned from there employees cause they treat them like s***. thats why i beleave in unions they wont allow the member to sit there and let the employer try and rape the employee or for that much the ;NEWBIE;


THATS MY FEEL ON THIS

 

ok. but why make money on some poor average joe thats trying to make a life for him self and his/her family why put them through it??? it doesnt make sense to me.

 

thats not true ive read alot of post were the person stated (newbie) was fired from a company while they were in training cause they had a problem with the trainer either, they were just doing all the driving,or the trainer wasnt teaching them nothing. if you received your class A then that states that you can operate a C.M.V so driving isnt the issue. but allowing someone to teach you what you will be confronted with when your on your own.its like i said when i started this post :EVERY ONE ISNT A TRAINER JUST BECAUSE THEY SAY THEY ARE : you need patience,patience,patience. i hope and pray when i start training and i get a trainer i dont have to deal with this.cause if im not learning anything they (trainer) will know about it RIGHT AWAY!
