Triad Transport McAlester, Okla

Jash, make sure you remember that while our company hires 5200 people per year, I guarantee that 1200 of them won't even be in the trucking industry after that year and less than a quarter will still be driving for our Government Funded CDL Mill that we call home.....lol.

 

WOW you think that only 1200 ....huh...........

 

I only base that on the number of happy truckers I talk to that say with a chuckle, "Yeah, I drove for them and then I got smart."

 

Yo 2 Fast...
Got you by 3 years.
After spending 38 years in the airline industry, in non supervisory mgt, I find if you have a problem or a suggestion, put it in writing. That gives you a paper trail and a chance that maybe someone will act on it beside toss it in the trash.

 

Any thought as to how to turn this around?

 

What pros? If you made it throu your first yr then according to most you are a pro. The one word of wisdom I live by since becomming a trucker is this. "When you think you finally know it all, when it comes to driving a truck then it is time to quit, because your now a danager to everyone else."

 

Double................their is anothe ranalogy I would like to add to that thought.........( I think I said it somewhere else but I will say here)

A Doctor.......A Lawyer........goes to school to become these professionals more than any other profession in the world however.....

A docotor, A lawyer.......even afetr 20-30-40-even 50 years are still
PRACTICING LAW........PRACTICING MEDICINE..........

Never get complacent...........too too too dangerous to yourself and others on the road.........

 

What I love is when some snot nose 20something points to his degree hanging on his cubicle wall as proof he knows what he's doing. I walk out to my truck and grab mine. When I show it to him/her they usually act rather sheepish at that point.
