Comcar - CT Transportation Info From New Driver

Did they send you home for that week?

 

Not in Ga. Back home in NC. Buy the way if you can drive it's better off as they pay .20 per mile and some xtra if you take other class mates back and forth. It saves them on cab charges. Plus your not stuck at the

When you get done you get with your TM and he'll let you know if they have trainer available. If not you sit at home. I'm out of Mocksville NC. So I don't do anything with Savannah's terminal. You go home and they setup a trainer from your terminal. You should of found out what your terminal is on day one.

 

I will be out of Mocksville myself

 

Tim Allen is the TM. Have only talked with him on the phone seems friendly. Did talk with one of the drivers from there and he said Tim's a good guy and fair as long as your there to work and make money. You might have to stay home a week or so. They seem to be building Mocksville. There have been 12 sent there in the last 4 classes. So I guess there running sh

 

So it sounds like they are growing which is good.

 

Hey did they happen.to send you any paper work yet. Ive been a little nervous to put.in my 2 weeks at my job without doing any type.of.paper work

 

No they just have me my orientation date of the 16th. As long as you make it through that you should be okay

 

The numbers given in the earlier post are not for everyone. I work there and i definitely don't see the miles he listed. Sometimes get a good week but most times i get like 1800. Again, if you're fresh out of school, it's not a bad place. But, if you have experience and options, i'd advised against it.

Also, you get micro managed a lot with them. i thought i got into trucking to get away from that but i guess not. They have the wingman system and it pretty much tracks how you drive. If you break hard, for any reason, it sends a message to the terminal then they call you and you have to talk to the safety department. And just last week, they started a new thing where you get in trouble if you go over 70 mph. do it 3 times and you could get fired. it's crazy since 70 is the speed limit on most interstates lol

 

It's a training company so not surprising. How do you like it otherwise?

 

Man, a lot of companies govern their trucks at 62. Id be estatic going 70 lol
