Howard Transportation - Ellisville, Ms.?

so are they paying you some kind of reimbursements for mileage back and forth, is it enough to offset the cost

 

yup no wear and tear but fuel only. bring you receipts, but don't be like my bro-inlaw said this and my bro-inaw said that.. What I am saying is to ask for yourself only use what I am telling you as topics to compare answers to. They are serious about that truck if you tear it up in any kind of way they are charging you for it. Also they have GPS (not to navigate by) that tracks your every move if you veer off course too much or take a small detour home they will charge you 70cpm for every mile you went past where you were suppose to. There is no perfect company pro's and con's to everything you just got to make the best of the hand you're dealt.

 

your talking about in the tractor, i wouldnt go nowhere in it anyway really accept maybe a gas station or something.

 

well I made it through orientation and my driver's test (test was a joke just drove down the road and back) tomorrow I will talk to my trainer and see when is a good time to meet up with him. Probably Sunday though from what I can see... Will see how training goes....

 

well its been a couple of weeks with a trainer... Man I can't wait till they give me my own truck. My trainer doesn't like to bathe and lives like a slob. Other that that the Job seem good. The automatic tranny is crazy you will find yourself reaching for a shifter lol. In fact I believe it would be a great idea to put in a dummy one so you can at least hold it lol you do clutch but only coming from a dead stop and going to a dead stop other than that you don't clutch.

 

Keep us up to date. Good Luck!

 

Gave the goahead on my app today. Would start as a trainee (2 wks training). Just have to wait for an empty truck.
