Bottom feeders

Well most of them will look over drivers that have years under them to save money on a new driver. With the world the way it is. I can see why there doin it too. Most drivers with years under them want more and more money. But most(75%) companies will drop a driver to hire someone that they can save money on. Swift, Werner, C R England, and some FEW others are known for that. but what can you do about it. yeah you can post on them. but in the end. they are still getting payed. while we just sit at home. wondering when and if we will be hired again. i have heard of other companys starting to follow these guys on the SAVE-LOT road. hopefully the guy we put in the whitehouse can do something unlike bush did. hopefully he will think of us. before he thinks of war and other countrys. taken money from us to give to them. but anyways good luck on this. it sounds like something that might get alot of post

 

Epic,

The reason they are called "bottom feeders" is because that is exactly what they. They are called that for any number of reasons. This site is loaded with them and you can read virtually everywhere on this site about them.

Having said that, here is my opinion on how to avoid a bottom feeder company. I will give you the one that I think will be the best benefit for you and others.

Try to avoid any company that advertises in truckstop magazines. You need to honestly ask yourself why they have to constantly advertise? In this or any other economy, why would a good company have to advertise? You would think that if they are such a good company, no one would ever think of leaving. But drivers are leaving in droves. You need to ask yourself why?

Think about it? Do the companies have so much freight that they need more drivers or do they treat their drivers so poorly, lie to them and mislead them that the driver has nother choice but to quit? I think you know the answer to that.

Are there drivers who are happy at these companies? Of course there is. It fits them well. Unfortunately, they are few and far between.

Trucking can be a truly rewarding career. Not a job but a career. Those looking for a "job", will find just that. Hopping from one carrier to another thinking it will be better. Usually, it is not.

Good luck to you in finding the right company. If you want more explanations on what is a bad company, let me know.

Drive safe
