deBoer Transportation, Inc. - Blenker, Wi.

I dont remember my trk #, but the trk was junk. And as far as dispatchers name, give me your mailing address, i will mail you sum good WI. cheese jr. there mostly related there, you know that and i know that

 

NO SERIOUSLY SLOW TRUCKS VERY SLOW TRUCKS EXTREMELY SLOW TRUCKS, EXTRA SLOW TRUCKS, THE TRUCKS ARE SLOW, OH YA I ALMOST FORGOT TO MENTION THE TRUCKS ARE SLOW !!!!!!!!

 

I talked with them or a second since I moved from WI to TX and they run between those two points. They may be a decent training co but there pay for experienced drivers is insulting at best. I forget what they offered but I think it was $.32 , I made that 11 years ago. They wern't interested in negotiating it at all I told them that was way too low and they were like fine.. bye. I have experience with great references, record etc but I guess they just want nubes to take on and pay nothing while they wreck trucks and freight.

 

They govern at 68, then if you idle, they govern more. I like to be comfortable while sleeping and I do not like bugs in the truck or exhaust fumes, so I idle.

So needless to say, the truck is slow, my new CB handle is Moe, Molasses !

 

Just got back after two weeks of training.Worst time of my life ( almost). The driving was fine but the trainer was off. Even told me that most of his trainees don't make it. Is one shower every 2 weeks the norm?(not sayin' about the rest) If they wanted to get rid of me they should have just said so at orientation.
Ran into my school friend on the way home. He went out with Werner for 3 weeks and had great time. They want their people clean. He goes back next week to finsh training.
Now don't take this the wrong way. I know it's a hard job and sometimes "Ya got to do what ya got to do". And I could have got another trainer,But had already lost most of my interest in OTR.Maybe the man was trying to do me a favor,reality check or something.
I got even more respect for you drivers now.Take care and God Bless!
All you wanabees might want to think again,it ain't no high school roadtrip.

 

I don't need to back up anything actions speak louder than words. You have a whoping one year experience so you really know nothing about what this industry is/ was/ is going to be. Mabey you havn't learned yet to look at actions and not promises in this industry.

Offering $.32 a mile to a guy with 13 years driving experience, a perfect safety and delivery record (with references to back it up) diesel mechanic experience/ not to mention I ran my company trucking company for 6 years before ever driving....... Is a hell of an insult in my book. So the only logical conclusion to come to is that it is cheaper for them to train nubes even though they hit things, people. COnstantly quit once they find out truckng is really about etc etc. And I don't care what you think, the fact is new driver DO that in abundance. There is a reason good companies and insurance companies won't take people with no experience
