Heading back to Pride

Nobody cares! Snowshoes only asked to hopefully shut you up.

 

Every time I go to our SLC terminal I see your SLC terminal on the way in,
Dang those trucks are clean!

I have a ton of respect for a company that cares about their equipment, every time I get a paycheck my truck gets washed, but I'm a L/O....Swift doesn't care much about trucks being dirty.

 

Its a shame thier pay is on the low side. Thirty seven cents to start. Thats what recent truck school grads start out these days at the better companies. Also, I wasnt crazy about the first threatening email from the director of recruiting. Heres that letter:
We look forward to you starting in the position of Fleet Driver. We believe your skills and experience will contribute to our Company's success, therefore, we are excited to offer you this position.

This offer is contingent upon a background check, including verification of previous employment, criminal history and a pre-employment drug test. We trust the information you provide is accurate, however, if we receive employment verification to the contrary, after we have transported you to the company for orientation, the contingent offer of employment may be rescinded and transportation back to your home town will be at your expense. This is a very rare event and would only occur if you falsified your job application.

Pride Transport is an At Will employer.

We are proud of our Company and are delighted you will be joining us as part of the team. Please call me at ( I removed phone numbers) if you have questions and/or to confirm your starting date with us.
I find it unprofessional to tell me about the consequences of lying on an employment app. I know what they are if you get caught lying. Its unfortunate that the trucking industry has a lot of dummies in it and this is what it comes down to. To each thier own.

 

That email sounds just fine to me. Letting you know that if you falsified any part of your application, and they don't happen to catch it until YOU cost them money to bring YOU to orientation, then YOUR bus ride home is on YOU.

What I find more ridiculous is Curling Iron makers have to attach a HUGE placard on the power cord to warn ADULTS that the iron gets hot and might burn your eyes.

 

At least Pride informs/warns potential employees as to the policies.
Only item left out is "hair follicle test" which really weeds out the dummies.
$.37 cpm isn't so bad with assessorial pays added in.

 

Thanks.
Everytime I see a post about how someone is happy with their company, I bookmark that companies website.
When and if it's time to start shopping around, at least I have a place to start.
Thanks for the heads up. It's nice to read something other than byching.
