Message:: [QUOTE="CA_Medicine_Woman, post: 2297406, member: 29810"]I learned when I enlisted in the US Army back in 1979 to never EVER believe a recruiter, unless they give you everything in writing.  Every recruiter in every industry gets paid commission (which is why I refer to them as head-hunters) for every qualified employee that walks in the door and gets employed (usually a couple of hundred dollars per person).  They'll do and say whatever it takes to make that happen.  Most are about as honest as a politician, and I would trust a drug addict behind the counter of a pharmacy before trusting anything a recruiter tells me. Get any promises in writing, including any conditions those promises are based upon. BTW, realistically, in this economy you can expect about 2,000-2,200 miles per week on average, less in the winter due to a number of factors that always result in crappy freight after the holidays for a couple of months (especially weather). Marten isn't for everyone, trust me.  But, for some it is a good fit.  Like with every other company, learn how things work, and always CYA.[/QUOTE]
