First Fleet

I know it and I have started looking,today filled out app for the post office.But I did hear back today a little bit ago in email from recruiter saying she's still waiting to hear back and thanked me for my patience.I jokingly replied back and said plz tell me dispatch isn't this slow,lol

 

Don't know anything about FF, but did anyone feel the op story was somewhat, long? I don't know, maybe it's me, just seems like society is full of ailments, I.e a reason not to work.

 

Ya maybe,he just wanted to go in to detail why he didn't like FF.Usually ppl only post a couple sentences lol

 

I had a good job at First Fleet. 1800 miles per week. Easy work. 350-400 miles per day average. $1250 guaranteed salary a week working Georgia Pacific dedicated out of Quakertown ,PA. Home 2-3 nights a week. All day Saturday and Sunday off. Sometimes a paid day off during the week. Brand new 2015 truck my first day. I was there almost two years and planned on staying longer. I felt they treated me well. They send you a birthday card and $50 worth if gift cards at Christmas. How many other companies do that? Unfortunately we had a lot of drivers quit and were never replaced. Corporate decided to shut our branch down putting 5-6 drivers and two office workers out of work. Obviously a $$$ thing.They gave us a choice to stay with thee company or leave and they would give us two weeks severance pay. They only other jobs were a division that worked 6 days a week, 3000 miles/week to make less than what I was earning and the terminal was 350 miles from my house. The other choice was a day cab route but that was over an hour and 1/2 drive each way from me.
So I'm not happy they closed our division. It won't be easy finding a job that pays that well for the amount of work we did.

 

If it wasn't for my dad needing care i would have taken the job.Actually I would already be driving OTR.I miss it.
