Abandon Trainee

Knowing how this business operates, would you show up with no money? I would find some kind of job to stash a few bucks. I would also be on my best behaviour with my trainer.

 

If memory serves Swift suggested trainees have $300 in cash on them for “incidentals”.

 

Traniees dont know how the business operates... Why they are trainees with no money vs a experienced driver with money

 

When i went to school for my cdl. I was drawing unemployment. I was only one that had more than 20 in there pocket out of 50 or more ppl. I also was selling plasma 1 mile down the road and hussled for cash. Refereed 15 ppl to donate too. And the school was 2 blocks from there terminal. I was only one that drove and didnt take a bus. So i gave drivers comming into the terminals rides during down times. Most was happy to pay 20 for a ride across town or to the store. So i haf plenty cadh but the others well they didnt have much of nothing...

 

Yes and the problem with opinions is often times they're uneducated. You don't know everyone's situation. If they weren't working you would be saying for them to get a job, and stop collecting welfare. Not everyone can be CEOs, or truckers, or get in positions to make money. In fact, why don't you tell all those people who are working at the truck stop that they aren't trying? All the diners you eat in, tell them they arent trying. You utilize those folks on a daily basis. Maybe they actually find fulfillment in their minimum wage job. Like i said, we dont know their mindframe. You shouldn't act like you are better than they are. It's not cool.

 

FACTS. Though I will say, I did see a video where a Swift driver tried that....he wasn't from the inner city...maybe the burbs

 

Unknown.

 

You don't need to know there situation.

They are over 21, most in the thirty something range.

So they've been on this planet for 25 or 30 years, and have 0 money, and 0 skill, but almost all have a cell phone.

Now exactly who is responsible for them being this way?

 

Most trainees at mega's don't have 300 cents.

Like 9 out of 10.

 

Seriously? How hard do you think it is to get a cell phone? You're talking like it's the early 2000s and they just became trendy
