Ethical...well, not really ethical but looking for opinions

wait, you mean we AREN'T terrorists?

huh, gonna have to read and watch personal injury lawyers ads differently now......

 

Welp I got the job. Gave my 2 weeks today. Boss was bummed but said he respected my decision and understood.

Excited to start in the world of ltl.

 

Congrats, and welcome! I think you made the right decision. You'll like it here.

 

so, which barn?

 

Welp... Waiting on HR to rubber stamp what is left of my paperwork. TM was supposed to call me at some point so they can get me a start date. I got my resignation letter all ready though.

 

There's about a 1-in-52 chance it's our barn...

@Rusty Trombone - what terminal are you going to be working out of? There are a few of us on here from Columbus.

 

Evansville. I didn’t understand what he meant by “barn”. Lol. Got to get with the lingo.

 

Looks like @Rusty Trombone and I got our jobs on the same day. Welcome to LTL while I'll welcome myself back

 

Ha! Yep, I kinda figured that might be the case.

Congrats again, and good luck with your Class A training. Don’t be surprised if it takes a while before you start. It'll all be according to the needs of your "service center." They could start with you shuttling trailers in the yard right away after you get back from your routes, or you could work through the entire busy season before you even get started.

The straight truck gig is the hardest job you can do here, but the pay raise and the opportunity to get your Class A will totally be worth the work. Just be patient. They never permanently park someone in the straight truck. Everybody moves up eventually, but you may have drivers ahead of you in seniority who will be training before you. Until then, you'll be hustling around town knocking out stops.

The most important thing for you to know about P&D is that on Fridays you should tell all of your customers to "have a good weekend!" Good luck, and keep us posted.

 

who will you be driving for?
