Going Over the Road with Knight

You'll be good to go flatbedding within six months. I'd start filling out apps and making some phone calls after three months or so.

 

Dont know your age, but having worked in several industries, both blue collar & white collar jobs, and now retired, I've had 2 experiences when leaving that I felt 'disrespected' at the time. Always giving 100%+ to my job whatever it was, personalities (often envy & jealously) come into the situation resulting in general dislike for individuals. No valid reason needed!

My advice is to just move on and look at it as a loss to your previous co.

Dont value yourself in 'other' peoples eyes---but, as doing the right thing and having pride in your efforts is the true 'reality'.

Good luck with your future endeavors.....

 

how many days did they tell you for orientation? Im going to orientation on the 19th then hope to be in Pheniox on the 25th. My recruiter is slow at sending emails tho so i haven't gotten my schedule yet.

 

Probably going back over the road with Knight, myself. My current employer has become a soap opera. And the stink of the place is becoming all to well known. I do not want to wear it. Bosses and managers sleeping with employees. Hell, I am a Team Lead, and the rumor that a new employee was carrying my love child was enough to prove to me how badly this place has become. It really makes me miss the solitude of the open road. The only thing is, I have improved my health so much while being out of the truck for the last 22 months, I do not want to loose that. Are APU's ever going to become mandatory? Keep us updated what you see there, Misesian.

 

As per my post:

Since retiring, preparing my own home-cooked meals, daily walking/exercising, getting regular sleep, losing 35 lbs, I just went from high BP & pre-type 2 diabetes to getting an "A+" for yearly physical and blood work from my primary physician.

OTR is hard on the body and ages a person unless they have incredible self-discipline!
