Heading to Covenant Orientation in Chattanooga, TN on the 27th of April. Any advice?

There are worse companies out there....of course there are better companies as well...I'm sure you'll find both positive and negative but from what I understand you will run and that's the point of this profession. I'm not big on the teaming...as I have heard some horror stories from ex drivers about that aspect of it.

 

You are welcome sir.
I thought of one more piece of advice for you.
In my opinion running out west makes more money and is so much easier than doing the north east.
1. Less traffic
2. Better roads
3. Weigh Stations are easier to deal with except New mexico, Arizona, and California,
Have your ducks in a row when you go thru there, They are strict and they check a lot.
4.And it seems you can all ways find a good place to park even late at night with a little bit of planning.

 

At one point the turn over was so high they had to buy the motel...if you need or want health insurance good luck....this was the point i walk out of orientation they were trying to sell me a supplemental insurance policy at $54 a week claiming at was because of Obama care..liars

have your ducks in a row while going thru there ,, they are strict and they check a lot so get familer with what they want to see and be able to do it quickly and professionally.

Wow those are all great things you are talking about ,
I have TWIC but not hazmat.
I see them in a lot of ports I go to also,, and would probably see them even more if they had TWIC card drivers like you are planning to be.
I can see you do have your ducks in a row and I think you are going to do very well.
And I am thinking this company and any other company you apply to will be very proud to have you on there team.
Yea I can understand team driving for a while till you get comfortable on your on.
ask lots a questions and learn all you can from positive people out there and you will be making lots of money soon you will be proud of...
It is very nice to see some one really trying like your self to be a true Professional Driver..

 

And yes I am almost positive they will cover the cost of the TWIC and be happy to do it
I am thinking dispatchers will be fighting over you.
cause you will be able to do so many different things... without a good drivers like you they make nothing. but min wage..
Dispatcher=Salesman=commission

 

Time will tell.I hope you come back and make a thread about the fabulous exp you're having with Covenant.
