Britton Transport Inc.?

All I can say is it is not good when a Canadian company takes over one here in the states. Don't think anything good will come from it.

 

(?) Becomes part of larger company, more exposure, more advertising, more American jobs created both at Britton and its vendors/suppliers, more money in the local & US economy. You're right nothing good.

Do you still think your Ford, Chevy or Dodge are American made? Dodge is owned by Fiat, an Italian company that saved Dodge's #####. Think of how many US jobs would have been lost had a foreign company not stepped in. It's a global economy, like it or not.

 

Well first day of orientation completed. Everone here at Britton Transport has been great. I will be going out with a trainer, Steve, for a week or two then down to Sioux Falls for my flatbed/step training. Well really it is a refresher as I have 6 years of flatbed experience just not in the last 9 years, unless you count both tours in Iraq pulling a flatbed. Anyway I am optimistic that this move will be satisfying.
Going from 54 degrees to -7 was a shock. Hurry, Spring.

 

Mr Ed looks like you will be getting a pie!

 

That something I do not miss going up to the border in the wee hours wind blowing and -25 deg. out.

 

First trip out. Time with Trainer Steve has been well spent. Glad I made the time for this refresher. The automatic transmission is easy to get used too. The electronic logs are a challenge. However, I think I got it. Didn't think I would like the new regulations but I'm kinda liking them. Great equipment. I will be heading to Sioux Falls Thursday to get my truck and head to Forest Va.

 

Ya you are probably right......thank god the American companies are running everything tickety-boo...( swift, werner, knight, usa, prime)

 

Well I have been with Britton for 4 months. They have metall my expectations so far. I have not been to a grocery warehouse and theyhave made sure I was home for drill in NC. I was home for Annual training for 2weeks and the truck set in the yard. I am currently doing training at Ft.Jackson SC for 2 weeks. The staff in Sioux Falls has been very responsive to mymilitary responsibilities. They have a training program for new students; Steveis a very responsible trainer. My pay is on time, direct deposit.
I am in the flatbed division. I'm getting back into the swing of it as I hadforgotten how much work went into it.
I am deeply grateful to Senta and Hero2Hired in providing me this opportunity.
The 62 mile an hour truck suits me fine, a 2014 Freightliner. The elog can be your friend, though itis frustrating loosing that 30 minutes of your day especially when it falls atan inopportune time. Safety is a priority at Britton.
Bottom line, Britton is a good company to work for.
