Hubby says they til him the pay was for orientation & next week will be pay for 3 days securement training & the week with the trainer. Thought they didn't pay for orientation! Ugh! They are in Knoxville right now, headed to Chicago. Yesterday he said they were going to MN. I can't keep up! I am still trying to figure out why my hubby chose this company! It wasn't his only option! I hope your weekend run is a good one, & everything runs smoothly!

I would have tried Boyd if I could have. TMC is good, too, but he would have to like a very strict, almost military environment...but they do flatbedding right.

Why do drivers do this? The guy next to me is from a company that provides each truck with an APU. Assuming his works, why in the world does he idle while he's sitting? If it's inop, why idle while he's inside taking a shower and eating for 45 minutes?
We are a weird bunch, us drivers. -
I was not happy with his decision! wE was not even on our list! He was at Osborn/Celadon for about 6 weeks. They knew upfront he had a speeding ticket a personal vehicle in Feb (he til every company he applied at before Celadon & after). It showed up on his MVR a few days before he was due to take his final road test. Safety go said they had to let him go. Nice. They have now changed their application & company policy. Our 2 yo & I drove 8 hours or so to Indy to get him because they wouldn't/couldn't get him on a plane or bus. The recruiter was really nice & very helpful from the first time he talked to her. She got us $360 for gas & food. We stopped in Nashville to have a break & spend some time together with our girl.
His top choice was McElroy in Cuba, AL. They're about 2-2 1/2 hours from here. They were very thorough on checking previous employers, background, etc. They wouldn't have a definite answer until Wednesday. WE called on Monday & told him they'd get him on a bus Tuesday & they had flatbed. All we gained from him taking the WE off is is $53.69. I believe McElroy paid all through orientation, training & securement $500 a week. He said the recruiter from McElroy said to call if things don't work out at WE.. We'll see. I think they also have guaranteed weekends off & a minimum weekly pay. He is working for his 6 or 12 months so so can get on where his ex's husband works. This whole thing has been quite the experience.
