    I just wanted to post an update for everyone that has been so helpful with all the comments and information. Covenant has finally gotten my boyfriends pay right and we had a WONDERFUL Christmas!!! He is going to orientation at Super Service next week and will be doing their training for about 2 weeks after that, then it's solo for him! He did have an offer from Maverick's but he wants to get a little more experience before going there, he feels he needs more experience before hauling their freight. Again, thank you all for your help and advice, looking up from here!!! May everyone have a SAFE and profitable New Year!!!

    I am about to start school with Roadmasters and I was pre-hired with Covenant. Should I ask for another employer or just stick it out?

    If you want my honest opinion, you should go to National Training in Green Cove Springs and yes I would ask for a different employer. My boyfriend is going to orientation with Super Service Sunday! Just an opinion, you have to do what you think is right, we just had a VERY bad experience with them.
