Got my first Job, now what?

Yes, welfare check, they want to make sure that no one committed suicide because of the depressing job market. Too many are using this as a job to save them, a last chance.

Well, I think that they expect to see 4% return of a viable employee from the applications they get to this point. 4% of all applicants seem to make it.

 

How is that thier business?

 

my mind thinks they have actuaries that have statistics of how people on stamps have different habits.

I hope you get a trainer sooner than later. Do they give you food money? Or are you just burning cash while your sitting?

 

When I worked for Western back in 2009, I had my own room. Flatbed training wasn't 2 to 3 days. Orientation back then was done in 3 days if I remember right. One thing I can say must be different now is how they run. Back then it was paper logs and they would push you to run illegal. I am sure they can't do much of that now with the ELD. I want to say .40cpm is what I was making back then, with experience. So, pay scale hasn't gone up much if that is the case. It is what you make of it though. I am sure you can get your experience there enough to go with someone else if you choose to. I would bet the pandemic impacted a lot of things there too though just like it has just about everywhere else.

 

Concentrate on driving, not YouTube.

 

If they can get a heart beat to move a load for $.40 a mile, why offer $.60. Helps the company's bottom line. If the driver bails after a month or two, there is always another heart beat sitting there waiting to take their turn.
