Wait a week. Watch how many of those 20-30 people wont sit around waiting for a trainer. If you cant wait, then you dont want the job.

Truckers know how to wait.
If I EVER get tired waiting on something then it's been way too #### long.OldeSkool and Rideandrepair Thank this. -
Usually when I run into a female trucker and shes all sassy etc. I would ask her to prove it. Dock there. And next thing you know we have a little rodeo going. I would think not too many would take time for that.
I do remember one in particular. She was a O/O docked in our 6 dock facility, some kind of cold storage with lots of freight on the floor in our reefers so it's manual unloading time. This little Pretty sits on a pile of pallets by the dock plates and coos with I guess 4 truckers. Next thing I see shes empty in about 20 minutes with a paired row of small wood on the dock behind the plate.
The four went back to unloading their trailers. And I think they had a touch of sunshine for a while, enough to motivate to get them boxes stacked and off the floor faster. So that was good for them. -
From what I was told 25 yrs ago, the last ( and only) formal Orientation I’ve attended.3 day unpaid Orientation, Free room and lunch, Lol. They got a $600,Tax credit. Orientation included a bunch of safe driving tips. The tax credit was for safety training. They made money off Us, before We ever pulled a load. 2000 Drivers, they boasted the lowest major Carrier turnover rate, at 80+% Lol. They had 3 Orientations per week, averaging 20 per class, to cover Turnover. A racket in itself. Yes they get Tax credits. I’m sure there are more for Training, Job creation credits also, along with School schemes, Fleece Purchase, and Recruiting schemes. All of it optional for those who partake. Just know, it’s all part of a self serving scheme. It’s much more than simply a Driver shortage. There’s incentive, and as they say, Drivers are a dime a dozen. When things got slow, around the time Yellow went out,they literally starved out a lot of good Drivers.Why not? Their phones were ringing off the hook. Today they’re 3x the size they were. Driver Shortage? That’s a joke. Tax credits, a reality. Those who believe the Megas cut rates, are wrong. They get Contracts, by covering the Freight. Their rates aren’t cheap. That’s a misconception. They charge plenty, and have the profits to prove it.
DAX_, lovesthedrive and Cabinover101 Thank this.
