How to chose a first company.

one thing that i have noticed is that there are a lot of people that get their cdl and then act like they are owed something. i know, for me, i am not owed anything. whatever company i end up working for, i owe them for actually giving me a job. i have seen some people bad mouth the company they go to work for on the very first day (mainly because they weren't given a 5 course meal 6 times a day). yes there are bad companies, but there are a lot of lazy people that get into trucking because they think they can just cruise the truck stops putting waitresses through college. and you can tell most of the self-entitled dreamers that post about how bad their company is by their lack of understanding the english language. such as: "em aire cumpnee tooked muh pays check kawz i taked tree dayez 2 tayk mi lode frum louieville 2 lexton. downt werk fur n e 1 evur!!! welfare iz wher itz at. lawlz. LUNCH TYM!!!!!@@@!!12!!!three!!!@!!"

 

Thanks Rhino. This is the best advice for a "noob" I've read yet! I like the idea of getting to know your dispatcher, as I've read many negative comments about conflicts. "Job-hopping" in any field is just bad news, but can see it would be worse in this industry. Keep giving us "noobs" good advice. We are mere grasshoppers, and here to learn from the masters. Thanks again.

 

Too funny. As a former East Texan, I "knowed zactly whot 'chu gettin' at dere boy-uh. Seemz jus like ain't no one got no get up an' go no more, don' it?" What happened to a solid work ethic, more than that, just plain pride in yourself, and working through the challenges of the day, looking at each as a puzzle to the whole picture: passion and adventure along life's journey? Yup. I sed it. I've worked too long and too hard to NOT have some fun everyday in my jobs. Otherwise, what's the point? Ignorance may be bliss to those affected by it, but it dang sure is annoying to those of us clinging to the learning curve!
