We have had time to cool off now. I feel better knowing my baby is ok. He has been driving truck since 1966, so I believe him when he says he inspected the truck. He told me that is just seized on him.
I do not know what he will do when this is all cleared up.
Thank you all for your prayers. They meant a lot to us.
I know I wrote out of anger, and I apologize for that. I think it was mostly the helpless feeling of not knowing what to do to help him. Thank you all for allowing me to spout this weekend.

 

You don't have anything to apologize for. Spout if you need too, better here than to him. At the time neither you or he could do anything about the situation. Glad to hear he's okay. He's been driving since '66 - Geez, I wasn't born until '70!!!!he!he!Just had to throw that in for giggaling reason!! lol Have a good day!!

 

I've not worked for them myself, but a lot of people push Maverick a lot here.
I guess there is something to all the good opinions. Check 'em out. They have a terminal just east of Little Rock on I-40.

 

I once had a truck take a dump on me just outside of Searchlight, Nevada. Luckily, I wasn't too far from town when it shut down. It was in late December and pretty cold. I remember that late-evening hike back into town well.

In the desert of NM, you have to check the belts and hoses even more. If the truck decides to sit down on you, just catch a ride with somebody into the next town and get a room when the temps go high enough to melt lead.

You have to remember....body proteins start breaking down around 52 Celcius, and from what I'm reading on CNN's site, some places are not too far from that temperature now.

Sounds like this outfit is one that definitely should be on our #### list.

 

Same with Knight in Phx, AZ about paying back for orientation if leave B4 90 days!! Guess too much job hopping going on these days---but as you say, many co.s are NOT upfront about working for them and even 'lie!'

 

So some of these jokers are now charging for orientation if you walk away before your first 90 days? I can remember a company or two I walked out on before the first 90 MINUTES.

Let 'em go ahead and adopt this policy. It helps drivers even more, as it is just another way to tell a company sucks. Those that require you to reimburse them for the orientation costs are simply reacting to events in the past. Events that happened for good reasons, at least from the drivers' standpoint. Lots of drivers have quit these companies in the past, and the companies are using a band-aid to stop the hemmorage today. Once again they choose the band-aid approach instead of solving the problems in ways they should.

Rule: If you are expected to pay for orientation if you quit before your first 90 days at an outfit, just walk away before you get hired.
