    Does Swift know that you need 2? Have you filled out the rider authorization form with your DL?

    No I don't think so, just more drivers than there are trucks right now. Don't let them forget about you though, nicely!

    I just hope they don't forget that I do need two beds. I did everything they freaking asked for and they are dropping the ball big time. I just can't believe its this hard to get started

    Almost every time I go home, they make me clean out my truck, even if it is just for 2 days. About half of the time, they give it to someone else. I've been sitting home all weekend waiting for a truck. It doesn't get any better.

    I got a question for those that payed in full there truck schooling up front. I turned in all the paper work that I needed and I thought I would not see anything and have to wait 6 weeks or so before I got a refund, but I checked this morning on my check history and I'm getting paid 150 bucks this week. Now is this weekly till its paid off or monthly? I am hoping its weekly but I know I think I read its monthly. Considering that I wasn't even expecting it for a while this is a nice little surprise. it would be nice if it was weekly. It would help a little with me having to sit.

    That would be monthly. Don't forget to claim on taxes. Good luck.

    Someone is screwing up something and its effecting me. They told me my DM was this person that DM told me he was a temp DM and that he thought this other DM was taking over for him cause it was his last day. So I remember that name and called the following day to check to see what my status was nothing had changed I am getting the run around seriously.

    This is what happen. I talked to the second DM she told me she hasn't been assigned any drivers yet and but then it was funny she looked up my name and was telling me she called yesterday and left me a message. She then told me the first DM was there and she helped me by saying "hey your 3 hours away from Fontana. its going to take 3 hours to get you a truck. let me tell the first DM to call you, but don't leave to come down to Fontana till we call you. This guy is getting known for not calling me. I don't understand what his problem is just call me and update me #### it its not hard. I know they are over worked and under paid but its something you need to do. a phone call doesn't take that long or have someone else call me. So I waited and waited I all most packed my car but held off cause I had feeling. after the first 20-30 mins that I wasn't getting a call. I called him and the whole jist of it was he told me tomorrow or the next day. This is what I have been told over and over again. I get some shocking news while on the phone with him. Supposedly I called and said there was a family emergency and I had to push back my PTA till April 1st I never called and said that!!! I told him as much. They also said they called me yesterday and I looked on my phone it doesn't show anyone calling me yesterday they said they left a message I never got anything it doesn't show a phone number of anyone calling me yesterday. My phone works fine too. I made sure they had the right number and they do. In fact I should have someone call me to make sure that its not a long distance thing but I am pretty sure they are lying through their teeth.

    Now maybe that I am thinking about, He might have been looking at the wrong date because when I was with my mentor in Feb I got home time at the end of the month and it went into March. I did have a death in the family I had to attend a funeral, but I only pushed it back one day and the truck was in/still in the shop and my mentor wasn't ready to go anyway and he even pushed it back more so it wasn't a big deal. if This is the case the DM I have is half assing his job and not looking at things good enough. I am going to call tomorrow cause I think I am to pissed off right now.

    I think once I get a truck I am going to request a different DM out of a different Term. Please tell me there are options I want out of Fontana REALLY REALLY BAD.

    I was told again this morning that I should have a truck today or tomorrow and he said more likely today then Wed but here it is 1 pm no phone call (I was also told that the guy that assigns trucks is only there till 2 or 3pm it takes me three hours to get down there and by the time I get there traffic in LA. I won't be going anywhere tonight anyway I don't think even if I do get a truck. I am planning a trip down there tomorrow and I am going to like to see his face when he sees a 6'5 guy comes walking through to his office. I intimidate alot of people even my mentor has told me that. I have been told by many people that I do. I am not that type of person but this is pissing me off. I won't go off the deep end it won't get to that point but I will stand my ground till something gets done. So I have been nice up till this point now its time to get things done and I won't be leaving his office till they do get something done.

    BTW I got a direct phone number to my DM's phone and now he won't even pick it up I've called 5 times over the last 3 hours. that a #### long lunch break? I was thinking about going today but its to late he would be gone by the time I got down there. More then likely he couldn't do anything anyway. I am real close to my trucking school that I graduated from. They told me I had to call and call and call till something got done. don't give up keep doing it. I think hes got caller ID LOL and won't pick up my phone call now
