My new adventure with Gordon Trucking

Hey Now! I started over here at Gordon this week. And I'll be updating my experiences with them here. I wanted to come here. Yeah, it's a big company. Yeah, 63 mph trucks too. BUT! Being in orientation this week up in Pacific, I have a feeling I'm going to enjoy it here. I've kinda wanted to work here for a while, nice trucks, always hear good things, and a NW company, and I love running west. Well, orientation is almost done. And I like, let me rephrase that, I kinda love what I hear. I came from a smaller company. With one shower between 3 terminals. And one washer. And one dryer. Lol. All conveniently at the same one! The insurance seems to be good, they are serious about safety as well. I'll let you know what I think and how its going. I think I'm going to like it here.

 

They have picked up PA freight, so no bubbles no troubles. I'm looking forward to this change.

 

By the way, I am IMPRESSED by Gordon so far. Extremely impressed. From what I've seen so far and how they've treated me, I am excited to start driving that baby blue truck!

 

Orientation is over! Got my truck, 2012 Cascadia. Nice truck, a bit more amenities in it. Nice little Walmart door and bunk windows, decent mattress, etc, got the Norpass in here too. For my first load, leave Pacific and head to Pasco, WA. Deliver in Marshall, MO. 2008 miles to start off with. Not too bad. I think I'm going to lie it here!

 

I don't discuss pay, I'll say they are very fair. Trucks are nice, and physical is easy.

 

Straight pay, a 75 lb lift test (easy) and the doc has you push on him. That's it
