A few questions about pay for a new driver

Im not blaming or judging you just asking ok?Why would your past employer say you took money?Can you fill us in with more details?So how long was you employed there?You might as well put it down they will find out.If this is what you truly wanna do then take werner or swift.I don't care what you heard about the other 2 companies you mentioned,its trucking,there is no perfect company out there.The good you heard is for those drivers only.Who says you'll have the same exp?

 

Try a construction company that has some dump buckets, flats and lowboys. That will give you an idea of what you like to pull the best. Keep in mind, all of this safety stuff is putting more rules on securing loads. I know someone who recently had a $267 fine for not having enough straps and was issued another for overwidth by an inch our two. I think the snot nose diesel bear was having a bad day. I'd stay away from all those companies in those truck stop magazines. Your better off mowing lawns

 

If a lawyer contacts the guy, he will back off in a hurry. Something similar happened to me & just the threat of a lawsuit ended it. The trucking company owner suddenly discovered his daughter, who worked in the office, was writing phoney expense receipts and signing the drivers names to them.

Contact a lawyer or OOIDA; they can help end this mess very quickly.

Schneider, Prime Inc., and FFE have tanker divisions. Prime could be a problem though with the employer accusing you of theft. You may have to take what you can until this problem is solved, or try to leave that employer off your list of past jobs. Check Careerbuilder website for jobs also. Apply with Paschall Truck Lines.

 

as far as starter tankers your best bet would be schnieder and prime I work for QC and i think they require a yr. You will find that tankers are abc smaller field of companies and most want exp bc there tougher to drive the slosh really affects you and you gotta watch curves and turns. you can try dry bulk for starters as well im not sure if any of those companies will start you but it cant hurt to ask

 

It sounds like the former employer has harmed you financially with a false statement.

If you can unequivocally back that up with the pay stubs etc, then I would look for a lawyer who will take the case. With a letter of denial from Watkins stating that prior employers comments are the reason you were not hired.

The Short Answer Here Is You Have to Clear Your Name Before Looking for Tanker Job or any JOB at this point.Every time you apply to a new employer they are going to make you sign a letter of release the more of those letters you sign for each employer the more trash you are going to have in your data base meaning every time you apply for a new job the new employer is going to wonder why the heck did all these employers you signed a letter of release to DID NOT HIRE YOU??????????
and they are going to ignore your application because they are most likely not interested to know......Too much trouble...So Clear your NAME asap Good Luck

 

as for the not working for free. you better get used to it. cuz the majority of your trucking job will be free labor. you get paid to drive. you don't get paid to load/unload. or waiting. and if your tanker. there's washing out.

there are a few companies that actually do give you clock time though. but not many.
