Arnold just like all the others

ok Arnold has been trying to get me to come over todrive for them.But like the other driver said I'm scard I'll end up in another werner type company.I;m checking them all out.I live in San Antonio,Tx.I'm told home every weekend.running southeast regional.No further n.e.than Memphis,Tn. is that true?

 

san antonio,tx ....... SE regional ????

what do you think ????

 

They are owned by US Express and I am now seeing arnold trucks pulling US Express trailers and vise versa. I bet they aint long for this world. US Express will just absorb Arnold. I worked out of PA. and all I can say is they are a bunch of pupets on a string. Companie "yes" men that only care about making them selfs look good to their bosses. They will lie about any thing just to shut you up for a while. Excuse after excuse. They suck!
All the trucks are automatics. Old US Express trucks. 65 MPH.

 

wow so far W.S.E. seem the way to go thank's for the word.

 

Well I am scheduled to start orientation on Monday 8/9. I hear bad things about Arnold, but I can say the same about most OTR companies mentioned here. I need the work. I worked the past year for a local company, traveled 7-8 states, but I was home every day. They were an AG. company so I didn't have to keep logs, and I was not subject to the 14/70 hr rules. Most companies will not consider this as exp. since I didn't keep logs, or sleep in a truk. Sooooo beggers can't be choosers I guess. I hope things go well. I was told the following:
-Trucks are autos, and 3 years old or less
-I am assigned "super regional", meaning NE.SE. and west to Texas
-Out 10-14 days then home 48 hrs...they try to get you home every other weekend
-Orientation is three days, they pay for hotel, breakfast and lunch, dinner is my cost. No pay for orientation
-After three days and drug screen and physical, I am assigned a truck, and routed home for a day or two, but bring enough clothes to last 10 days just in case. She said they almost always get drivers home before the first run.
-I live in Pa. but was told my home terminal will be in Florida, and Camp Hill is secondary....which sounds like a good thing.

All I can say is I will try my best, and hopefully they will do their part. I will keep you posted with my progress as honestly as I can. I won't sweat the small suff, as I know that there is no perfect driving job, and miles are crappy all around.

 

You going to Camp Hill?

 

Yes I am, and I am staying at a hotel in Mechanicsburg. Do you work for Arnold?

 

Hey pricey59 hows it going?

 

did you say arnold doesnt pay for orientation?

 

Pricey, how's it going with Arnold? My husband just hired by them, he is waiting on a trainer now. He did orientation in Duncan SC and is now on his way to the Florida terminal to wait on a trainer.
