That's just the cost of doing business. The recent CDL grad thing...companies can't have it both ways. You can't pay a new guy Jack **** AND...
Yup. There are plenty of carriers out there that don't have this policy. I'm not sure why people settle for carriers like this (unless they have...
Speaking from experience (my CDL class had 20+ people and some holdovers from the previous class)...there are a LOT of people that sit on the...
They want "experienced" workers, because experienced ones can genrally operate faster on a lift than new guys. They don't really care about...
Contracts like this are a joke. Why? They only work one way. How is that? Most states are employment at will...meaning that either the employer or...
Well there you go. He's the stereotypical pit bull owner.
You're missing the point that several people (including myself) are making. This situation was 100% preventable. A responsible pet owner wouldn't...
No kidding, lol. By calling the animal shelter, you're hassling someone that has zero influence on policy and could be spending their time doing...
I feel bad for the dog. The owner...not so much. Anyone that's into pit bulls (i.e. My GF thinks they're adorable) knows enough to check local...
Yup. Some days are better than others, but those look like some "par for the course" trailers that I've unloaded while helping out on the inbound...
x2. On any given day...I go past 10+ places that are looking for any CDL driver (most are places that run class B trucks). These are places...
A lot of guys aren't bright enough to look into the weeds...where compensation is concerned. They're just looking at the per mile or hour rate....
Yup. I think states don't get into it too much because most companies are going to require you to have additional training to satisfy their...
The per mile rate doesn't sound bad, but my question would be about benefits. $0.45/mile is not all that impressive if there's no healthcare,...
Do the math. What are you currently spending each month for your vehicle? I.e. Payment (if you have one), insurance, property taxes (semi-annual),...
yup. Get your applications out there now. Some (I.e. ABF) have a lengthy pre-hire process. As far as benefits...the shortest delay in getting...
As your family is a priority for you...check out LTL, food service, and other local gigs. If you beat the bushes...you'll find a company that will...
Yeah...I'd be curious to hear how those "I have priority" exchanges go over. If it were me (I generally only offload a couple pallets at each...
Yup. The one exception that I've seen is if you show up with a chick (we have one female driver). Show up with her to a job site for a delivery...
Yup. It does pay to be nice. On a delivery Friday afternoon...a nice old guy offered me the remainder of a box of Krispy Kreme doughnuts as...
