Halvor Lines, Superior, WI: No longer worth it

Still room for improvement in my opinion, but much better than it was 15 years ago. I'm assuming you are at the top of the pay scale?

 

Monson's pay seemed like it was always better but their equipment and management was just

 

I am at the top of the scale and I agree there is room for improvement still.

 

We were paid very well, but we also had to put up with a lot BS!

 

I put 18 yrs in at Monson. It was a tough gig. Lol. It was goos pay though.

 

I was just told, for a newbie it's .45cpm dry & .48cpm reefer. No touch. Home weekends.

 

Snowmantrucking101 I read your post on the Roehl thread and saw where Halvor wants $5000 for a 2 week refresher along with a 1 year contract from you. Do you know what they want to go through their 5 week school? If it's that much for a refresher it must be around 10 to 12 grand for the full school.

There was a post here in the good companies section from a Kenda a couple weeks ago and I asked this question but she didn't post again. In looking at their facebook page I think she's a frequent poster on their page.

 

Sounds right for a new driver with less than 1 year experience as a base.

 

I am not up to speed on our school since it is relatively new, but my understanding is that you are a paid employee starting on your first day of school. You only have to pay if you do not make it one year after your training is complete (how much I don't know). I saw your other post about trainee to trainer program...Yeah, it's longer than the regular program and I am very skeptical on how long that will last.

 

$5,000 1 year contract for a 2 week refresher is beyond extreme by any standards. Yeah, she said $1,000 per week while in it & with trainer, but still...
