    Whoa, easy big dog relax. I called my record is spotless there bud. So when a company doesn't call me after I out in an application I usually know why. So, I like to shop around and I did because I want to pull a tank. I've only been turned down because not enough experience. When I talked to Amy ( southern accent) she said there was a report on my DAC that disqualified me. I disputed my DAC and then I re submitted. they offer a NE regional home every weekend. So I was interested at that position.

    Reason on why I never went was because 1. In order to be qualified for a house loan you need 2 years of job history. 2. I could wait to go there. 3. There was a huge like 75 page thread that got deleted about their wait times and no detention and what not so after my interest I decided is wasn't good for me.

    i never said they were a crap company. I understand you like them and you're going to defend them but please read what I write before you get upset. With all that being said I already knew they didn't hair test like 5 guys said that on another thread when asked about it. Don't question if I should be in the truck there bud believe me if I wanted to smoke dope and do drugs and worry about drug tests I would have been gone already. Been drugged tested 5 times 2 employment orientation 3 randoms so I ain't worried there bud.

    Not defending them, I totally understand circumstantial situations not knocking that at all. All I'm saying is your comments would hold more weight had you worked for them and was able to elaborate on your experience. I'm a positive person so going forward I'm not blocking out the possibilities and the fact they are honest about the job there's no surprises. I tend to respect a company right from the start when they are honest with new hires.

    Maybe they weren't all that anxious to hire you in the first place?

    the ONLY reason they hired me is because one of their competitors didn't and i'm still here

    but even though i'm not a fan of a sign-on bonus the other guy I went to orientation with didn't get one either. granted his experience has been pretty bad, i'm not going to say anything bad. my experience has been decent. (minus my QUALCOMM breaking twice)

    If I'm not mistaken the bonus just started last month. Not sure but I would at least call and ask.

    They don't tell you where to fuel,truck ran 75 or mine did anyway,not afraid to deadhead you,new equipment, no payroll probs. Cheap cheap cheap when it comes to driver pay and truck washes. Way to much downtime with no detention pay.

    every word of that is true

    well, "they don't tell you where to fuel" the company did send a qualcomm message once saying "don't fuel at the TA in Pembroke, we tell you to fuel at the flying J" so interpret that as you wish

    i've never heard anyone pick TA over Flying J before
