Calex Express....My New Home!

The rider policy starts after 30 days and doesn't cost anything. You need to get a form from safety filled out and you're good to go, if you have any questions just ask, good luck!

 

Well I finally got home around 9:30 last night after spending 8 hours at the dock at Walgreens in Orlando. All I can say is what a complete waste of a business. What they need there is a complete firing of anyone in that distribution center that has a management title and start fresh. They should be ashamed of themselves for running a major corporation like that. It makes me very grateful when as a consumer, I have choices of where to shop and Walgreens isn't one of them I care to do business with. Maybe everyone who is involved with transportation should do that. You get jerked around at a reciever, write a letter to the corporation explaining to them why you will be doing business with their competitor. End of rant.
I was preplanned while waiting at the dock in Orlando. I have to load in Lakeland Monday morning for a load going to Chattanooga Tn for Tuesday, then head over to Cleveland Tn for a drop and hook for a load going to St. Catherines Ontario for Thursday morning. Have a safe and enjoyable weekend all.

 

John what do they consider the "official" hire date? Is it when your told to come to pittston for the road test or when your told to come to orientation

 

Orientation date will be your hire date.

 

Hey J.B. love reading this post, i find myself checking in nightly to see what you're up....its nice to read about something more positive in the trucking world. I was on my usual run the other day from north NJ to philly (alot of miles i know haha. I do this run alot to fill in for a local driver in our company who has some family stuff goin on) anyway i saw a calex trailer in a dock yard in a suburb outside of philly, you ever do any runs in that area? I'm close to hanging up the OTR life, looking to spend time with the grandkids and drive the local NJ PA NY routes, home every night. Drive safe, look forward to reading your little journal on here!

 

I've been to Philly a couple of times with Calex. I've also been to a few of the suburbs also.

 

Well I'm all packed and ready to leave. I'll be on the road by 6am tomorrow. I'll be in touch.
