    I once saw a viable thought from one of the Kardashians. They decided to drop the alliance with the Ferengi. :lol:

    Yeah, unfortunately I can't say that I am surprised. I have heard some sketchy things about Celadon, too. I once tried to get in touch with their Recruiting Department and it took me forever :biggrin_25513: - I must have been on hold for what seemed like 30 minutes, and then I hung up. It seems like a very large company - which means less personal attention (a.k.a you're just a # to them in many ways) with operating/administrative systems that don't give you what you need. I'm sorry to hear about your experience man. I wish you the best in any case!
     
    AquariusDoll Thanks this.

    I think the Chinese salary is worse than Russia.

    Celadon is a socialized company. Sponging off our socialized government. There driving school is a big joke as well. Students I have tried to train was never taught a simple 45deg backing maneuver much less the refresher course is bogus as well with only 2 to 5 days of retraining. Needless to say my time has expired with Celadon. Moving on with the hopes of finding a better company. Statement's about there L/P are true. There are better avenue's to truck ownership..

    Wow; I Read every post and I must say this is very dissappoiting. BirdBoat were you taking home $1800 weekly before your Maintenance issues? Also how many miles were you averaging for that total ? A Celadon recruiter sent me an email advertising 3K miles weekly nets you $1,100. No GrammerNazi Please. I want to lease just for the freedom of self dispatching but also want to earn no less than $750.00 a week. I have already committed and will start orientation Soon. Some Positive advise please, Thanks

    If you wait on hold for the recruiting department, that's probably a good sign you will be waiting a long time on hold for your driver manager if you did get hired there. We all love waiting on hold with our dm's/dispatch when there's probably no one even at their desk or t hey are outside taking a smoke break and didn't forward their phone to anyone else! :biggrin_25523:

    Please reconsider and don't go to orientation. You haven't committed until you sign the lease.
