My Western Experience

Thank you sir for one taking the time to read my looooooong post. I am not sure of that honey moon phase part though. I guess I'm just a different breed of person. I guess you can call me a glutton for punishment. But I've learned to appreciate and learn from every experience. Case in point if that were to happen again I wouldn't ask, as soon as I get the message I would just turn around. Lesson learned. I've noticed that regardless of what trucking company or any job for that matter there will be things and people that I don't agree with. But why bash and complain? It fixes nothing. One man's trash is another's treasure. So I just put every experience good and bad and allow others to make their own decision.

 

Lol. Amiller you got jokes huh? But to answer your question silverdollarman I don't think you get paid for orientation. When your out with a trainer it's $375 but for the first three weeks they take $200 of it. So you'll get $175 for three weeks then your last check will be $375.

 

I totally understand where you're coming from. But reading the threads all over this site I don't think many companies care about their drivers EXCEPT the little mom and pop companies. I just make the best out of the hand that is dealt. I will say this though, don't let my experience cause you not to go. Because you could get here and have the time of your life. I only started this post because when I was looking to start driving in FEB, there were very few positive things said about any company. I guess it's because human nature is to complain about what we don't like but keep quiet when something is good. But again I feel you I just love being on the road and I wanted to give other new drivers that are fresh out of school the real deal good or bad. Be safe and I hope to see you on our 30 min break.

 

Lol. That's what's up.
