Our new 2015 Volvo is sick, in Volvo hospital

What else is there to tell sir? It was hard going for me. I left.... equipment... miles...insurance....all poor.

 

I do however want to say the 10 day orientation in NC was very good. Matt, RL, and Johnathan were all very professional and intelligent people. I also didn't travel the North east much at all. I was able to fuel at all of the major stops, and if there was heavy construction or traffic, I didnt catch a lot of flack about another route unless it was way out of route. The owner ops. Seemed to like it there.

 

Thanks for sharing. It's important to tell our stories so we can pay it forward and help the next crop of drivers.

That's not the greatest pay scale out there. I started 10 years ago at .32cpm.

 

really 99% of trailers, that might be a slight exaggeration. i think i work for a different company than these posts represent.

 

These are my friends and they worked there for several months and they wouldn't lie. I remember talking to them several times when they had dealt with trailer issues. Once the trailer roof completely peeled off like a sardine can!

 

Me too. I've been with WS for 3 years and am very happy here. The trailers used to be notoriously bad but they purchased 300 new ones and now I rarely have any trailer issues.

 

I noticed that if an empty new trailer or two was on a yard somewhere, they always were red tagged for brakes or something. Some had glad hand locks on them.However; the old ragged out ones didn't have red tags on them. So... it was obvious what the deal was on that. The problem for me was ...what if I used one of the new ones, and it really ended up having bad breaks. So...I ended up with crap every time. I was fairly new ...so I dont think I was special enough.
