Don Hummer Trucking

I just want a hummer while im driving ,it used to be in the old days your last name was based on your trade,i fiquired that maybe i was lucky a found someone that followed in her ancestors footsteps

 

It's a long thing to explain, we do different levels of training in certain geographical areas depending on skill level etc. SB1 can explain it, he was a student and is now looking to become a trainer. I don't want to get in trouble with someone thinking I am recruiting here.

 

@sb1 Can you elaborate on the training aspect or how it might work for me being out of SE Mass? Thanks..

 

The training is set up with 4 stages you go out with a trainer for 10 days then your in your own truck alone for 8 to 10 weeks. Then back with a trainer for 10 days and so on until you finish stage 4. Each stage opens more of the USA. Stage 4 is the left Coast and is typically only done in the winter so the students get to experience real mountain grades at there worst with a trainer. This program is sometimes shortened if the student is deemed ready but don't count on it. It can take a full year to get through all the stages but the quality of training is (in my opinion) the best in the industry. Your trainers will be in the jump seat training you not sleeping in the back. You will not run teams. Both students and trainers are paid a salary during the training sessions so there is no incentive to run more miles. And the end of each stage the students get a 2 cent raise. Starting at 34 cpm then 36,38 and ending at 40cpm. Each stage of training also pays more (I can't remember what each one paid but it was fair I think $600, $650, $700 and $750 a week or per 5 day. but don't quote me on that) in stage 1 and 2 typically you would go out for 5 days then home for the weekend and 5 more in stages 3 and 4 most are out for 8 to 10 days then done ( it just depends on the student and what loads they give ya) I was VERY happy with my training.

 

Another thing I liked is that you get to go out with different trainers each stage this give you more than one opinion on things. All of my trainers were great and I still call all of them

 

Being your on the eat coast they would have to do a few things differently so your time with a trainer might be changed ( you might do 10 days straight in stages 1 and 2) this will depend on Trainer availability and how close to you they have a trainer ( I'm not sure they have anyone that lives out east) I can tell you that if ANY of the office staff at Hummer tell you they will make some work you can take it to the bank they will not lie to you and will do everything they can to help you make yourself successful

 

Also they had a program out east hauling office furniture that had a guaranteed weekly pay I don't know all the details on it but it would be worth asking when you talk to recuteing

 

Awesome. That sounds like thorough QUALITY training with someone who would be up front rather than just sleeping while I drive. What good is that? This way, much better. I appreciate all of the information. I will touch base with recruiting at some point this week and follow up. I think that the thing that I find best is that even IF it takes a year, at least I could get training in ALL different weather conditions, the many different scenarios, different times, traffic conditions, etc..sounds good to me. Thanks sb1

 

that's why I chose them when I was in school I wanted the best chance at being a safe and successful driver as I could get and I'm pretty happy here. As with all jobs there a good days and bad but I'm always happy on payday. Feal free to pm if you have any questions

 

Thanks for taking charge of this! As you are on the East Coast, you would leave orientation on Friday with your trainer, do 10 days consecutively with him and then be seated in your own truck at the completion IF everyone agrees you are ready for your solo work.
