Covenant. OMG we didn't know!

While all the companies are struggling for freight during this downturn.

I think I can say with a degree of certianty...that most are just giddy about the sudden surge of "fresh meat" that doesn't know any better.

Hell, I bet Covenant big wigs (and others) are dancing in the hallways with glee.

 

i agree,,,,,10-4 on that.

 

They would also be able to boast that their fleet is "newer" because it has one fifth the wear and tear.... LOL

 

LMAO...hadn't thought of that one.

I would agree with you, except for a couple of items. Having seen the inside of this "newer" fleet. I can honestly say, their trucks are trashed faster than ANY I have ever seen in my life.

A Covenant truck with 185k on it, looks like most other fleets trucks do at 600k or more.

 

We know all about covenant..
and it's sister company
They are brothers that own them and they are really good at lying, deciveing and steeling drivers money. they have alway been that way and they do it in the name of our lord. they put that sicker on all the back of the trls. I don't know how they live with there self..
if your a rookie then this is a good company to get your experiance at and then get away from them and go get a good job!!

 

A lot of compies are like that. take advantage of the rookie because they don't know any better

 

I WORKED FOR BUSKE FOR A YEAR. i REALLY LLIKED THE JOB AND ENJOYED WORKING FOR THEM. BUT YOU GOT TO WATCH YOUR MONEY. THEY WERE AWAYS SHORTTING THE PAYCHECK. BUT WHEN i BROUTH IT TO THERE ATTENTION THE STRIGHTENED IT OUT. bUT YOU HAD TO WASTCH THEM EVERY WEEK..

 

Why should they be different than anybody else who is doing stuff "in the name of our Lord". I am very,very leary of anyone claiming to be christian when it suits them and throwing it all out the window when it doesnt. I would rather (as I have said here before)work for a complete athiest so I know what I am getting than a christian who is always trying to save me while he is trying to screw me.
Covenant in my opinion is not that great of a company to even send rookies to--they should be sent someplace where they are taught right, not someplace where the company sees them as a co-driver who will run their truck an extra 2500+ miles week, so they can make the bucks, the trainer gets rich and the company pays them their little piddly $300 a week and laughs all the way to the bank. Then when they get their own truck, the company cant figure out why they cant do it, I dont know, why doesnt the company tell us?

 

Hey, I hear you. I'm a christian and have been burned by more christians than any other kind of people. Maybe because I expect more from them? I don't know. In a business environment they don't act any differently than anyone else. But then again, being a christian is relative. I mean some people use the term christian to be something different to what I know it means, it's a term used way too loosely.

One exception I can claim is In n' Out Burger. They are christian and they treat their employees well, and the employees in turn let that show in how they treat the people who are making them money. I have never had a bad experience at that place, and it's very, very popular and they rake in the money. I think this is due to the fact that they know what being a christian really means.

They built a store in Placerville, CA and their trademark is two palm trees crossed like an X. The city made them take them out. The city's reason....the palm trees were not indigenous to the area. How many other businesses have plants that are not indigenous to the area? Plenty. But the palm trees X is the greek letter for Christ, but the city will never admit this is the real reason. And yes, there are businesses in Placerville that have palm trees.

Didn't mean to be so long winded, sorry.

 

VERY interesting!
And not only does In-N'-Out Burger treat their associates well,
they produce a quality product.
Just thinkin' 'bout an In-N'-Out burger (Double-Double with fries, please), makes my SoCal mouth water.
Ummmmmmmm ---- good!

You folks who don't have an In-N'-Out Burger in your area, don't know what'cher missin'.
They're what a burger oughta be.

OH!
BTW, TW, when it comes to "long winded" ----
fret not.
If long winded was a bad thang, I'da been banned LONG ago.
