Bison?

Yeh, I was wondering who they had to pay off for that 50 best managed
company crap. Glad to see they are needing so many drivers. Maybe
they will wake up and start treating their drivers better............hahaha
sorry, just woke up, probably still dreaming, I have 18 years and a
perfect saftey record and I'm so disgusted with trucking companies I'm
driving a cab in Prince George BC......it pays better!

 

Well unfortunately as good or bad as they may seem form folk on here and what I have heard, I have to keep applying as they are one of the few companies that do take new drivers and offer the new driver training type of thing.

 

Speed..

Check out H&R, talk to HUTCH in Calgary. They hire new drivers and give them a couple months with a trainer before assinging them their own truck.

 

I work for them and the only thing I hate is the slip seating. If your on your days off they may or may not take your truck and give it to a part time driver. If you want to keep your truck, then never stop working. Or take your days off on the road. The rest is okay.

 

I work for them too, but won't be for long, I've seen a drop in the last while. Be prepared to be just plain ignored. Communication is zero. Any minor f-up will be promptly reported most likely by a city/shunt driver/rat before you're even back in your truck. Every pike driver I've talked to has complained about a drop in pay because they're running single all the time.

The paychecks are there though if you are willing to run yourself ragged but whatever you do, don't mess up, or that's it, goodbye job security. Overall, I have worked for worse but I'll never work for this outfit again.

 

Yuppers I applied there a few months ago. They asked where I like to go and I told them I like the desert states. Then they told me I would drive mostly BC Alberta and Washington and maybe some of Oregon. No choice? No choice!
I told her. Sayonara baby. I hate driving BC.

 

I gave my 2 weeks notice today. I had enough. No more slip seating for me. An Inmate don't have to move from house to house as much as some of us driver do.

 

I love running the mountains myself. But ya if your based out of Calgary you will be more regional. You can put in a request to go to other places and they will send you there. Anytime I wanted to go to a certain place, I got to go. If your based out of Winnipeg then they will send you all over the map.

 

Its not that I don't like mountain driving. Hell I drive more mountains than flatlands seeing I live in mountain country. I just hate roads built for small vehicles being used by big rigs. BC highways are still to 1940's standards. All the good roads there are near Vancouver.

I told her that I prefer the desert states and she said 'Too bad'
