My new experience with Gordon Trucking, post-buyout

Got a feeling I know where he would stand on this just from reading past posts...lol

 

Most everyone i knew there has left...this includes safety and support personnel..

to someone who never knew the real gordon trucking it may be a good fit but to those like myself who enjoyed working for a great company we could not sit by and watch it be dismantled..

my reasons for leaving was the lack of miles...what does it matter if you make .46 cpm if you only run 7k miles per month which is what i did the last 2 months there.. and that was actually working 31 straight days each..

good luck if you go with them but i would advise a back up plan...preferably not a mega carrier

 

I would suggest you read Captain Zooms thread "Im Baaaack" in the good trucking companies forum. He is with Gordon now out of Indy...that is if he hasnt already left for Risinger Brothers....

 

Just read Zoom's thread. A lot of food for thought there, but I also know every ones experience can differ when starting with a new company. Still kind of up in the air about who to go with. Cant msg tow614 yet about SEC not enough posts.

 

I always try to have a back up plan. Turned down all other offers accept Gordon and SEC. I have a clean dac and no points and enough verifiable experience I can get on about anywhere I choose. I have just had some very bad experiences with small outfits.

 

I have driven for Heartland and for SEC in the last year. I never drove for Gordon so I cant say what they where like. If Gordon is being
run by Heartland I would avoid them like the plague. I am taking some time off from SEC to deal with a few minor health issues and
enjoy my life a little bit. I plan on returning to drive for SEC soon, I would recommend them anytime. They treated me very well when
I was working for them. The insurance was lousy which I understand they have improved and the pay could be better but they are about
the nicest people I ever drove for and that's a big plus with me. The equipment is late model and well maintained and they don't run the
Northeast or east coast. I am not a recruiter, I am just giving you my honest opinion of SEC...

IF EVERYTHING IS GOING WELL YOU HAVE OBVIOUSLY OVERLOOKED SOMETHING

 

I also took a whole month off last year when I was driving for SEC to go deal with some issues surrounding my fathers death in 2013 and they did not even ask me
to clean out my truck. They told me to take as much time off as I needed. How many trucking companies out there have you heard of that would do that?

HARD WORK PAYS OFF IN THE FUTURE, LAZINESS PAYS OFF NOW
