Covenant. OMG we didn't know!

The only disbelief I have is anyone putting up with it. No one, I don't care who they are will get by with disrespecting me the way you have described.... I GUARONTEE!!!!!

 

well i didn't get the whole story from the git go.... and now i'm tinking this will not last long.... i have 3 years otr and 4 years local hauling gas/jet fuel.
the only reason i am here is due to the fact that i went local for 4 years alot of companies don't consider me a driver anymore....except these buttholes!
i knew they had issues long ago but,they have surpassed what i heard......
come tax time i will take my cash and head back to fl possibly....
better to be poor and warm than poor and cold and stressed out!!!!:smt067
with the economy the way it is, and so much uncertainty right now,the idea of changing companies doesn't seem like a good idea.........:smt102.........
best wishes to all.......

 

Good luck....hope it gets better for you soon.

 

I would catch the bus. But not to a Covenant Terminal..

 

He can get a job with almost any company with less than 6 months. Of course, the current economy and such will affect the speed at which he finds one.

Bonus ?? I've walked from better companies than Covenant will ever be, with $2k or more in vacation and bonuses just weeks...even days away.

2 months is an eternity, when you're talking about dinged DAC's and accident reports. Which can make your job search, even less fruitful.

 

Kinda makes one wonder whether Covenant has their drivers on a color-coded list.

Red, meaning the higher paid drivers that they would prefer to replace.

Yellow, meaning there's still time to scare 'em off before they get red.

At Covenant, there seems to be a "bonus", which I'd imagine is a lure for some to hire on ---- dangled like a carrot.
And company mismanagement is charged against the drivers.

I'm thinkin' that IF they receive the "bonus", it might cover their down-time.
How convenient for the company.

Thank goodness for the company bonus.
I bet some folks depend on receiving it to
cover the weeks with little mileage, and the
high cost of just sitting and waiting.

When is a "bonus" NOT a bonus?
