Help I want out of this company, only 2 months experience.

In orientation here now so far so good. They are very nice and take care of everything. One person actually came back after leaving, and wished he didn’t.

 

Applying in person goes a long way. Especially if you go in looking professional and ready to get started.

 

R. E. West Transportation
Has a terminal in Michigan. It's dry van, so I'd put that one on a back burner and go for refrigerated company as a first choice. It's there if you need it though, as a second choice. You'll make a lot more money pulling reefers.

 

My bud drives for Superior Seafood in GR , he made 86k last year and home every night.
Its all dolly work restaurant drops.

 

Midwest Direct Transport is up in Coopersville, I'm doing rather well there. DM me for their recruiting info. I have no idea what they're paying company drivers, tho. It's preferable if you have tanker endorsement, as well.

 

Well first off bloke I wish you well in the transport industry, but you have just learnt lesson number one in the trucking industry, never trust any promises transport companies make, if their promising the world, don't fall for it, rather talk to other drivers, this website is great as drivers can post whether or not a company is good or bad. It's like doing a pee pee into 70 mph winds and not expecting any blow back it just don't happen in the real world. Having said that there are some good companies out there, the hard part is finding them.

 

Any Michigan flatbed company not making you loads of money is clueless.

I’d go knock on the doors of Van Kampen and Van Eerden, both in GR. Both have some of the nicest equipment on the road.

 

So for the last 2years I've been trying to find a company to stick with and build my career. I tried western express 1st. Well everyone knows how that went. Then I found another company a small one right in my home town. I thought that this would be a hit. No. I've been here 4 months my truck has been in the shop at least twice a month every month the whole 4 months. And now I'm stuck in Missouri. Truck won't go above 5 miles an hour. Mind you I told them that the truck was acting funny half way here. And on top of that they just had my truck for like 4 or 5days. Told me they fixed everything.They pay my ok because I get rates. But I'm not even on the road enough to really stack up any money. At this point I don't know if I should stay and stick it through to see if things get better. Or continue to work here and try to find another job and then leave. Because at this point I could be driving local and make the same money I do now. Be home every night for my kids. I don't know what to do. Does anyone have any advice for me.

 

How about all the companies already listed in this thread going back to Dec. 5, 2022
Try them again.
