New Driver Progression

It won't happen again, that's for ###### sure!

This particular company has you back to the dock, chock and then go park in Employee parking. They then send hostler to get you when it is loaded.

See?

I have taken to telling them AT the gate that I am there for MY load, if they are short trailers they need to call CSR and leave ME the Hell out of it.

 

Not bad advice.

Having a Son in the fuel biz helps too.

They want me YESTERDAY, hourly and home weekends. I'm doing my year here at least, I owe them that for jumping me up the food chain so fast, plus I LIKE the people I work with, and I always like to think I can come back.

 

Thank you for your well-thought and useful reply.

My Son is a terminal manager dealing with mostly rail cars and some trucks, and the manager for one of the fleets going there wants me to apply like YESTERDAY.
(Decent) Hourly pay, weekends off and OT sure make it sound interesting, and it might fit my intermediate term goals nicely.

Me, respecting that the place I work for treats me decent, won't just bail on them like that and I will finish up a year before I even think about jumping.
But it sure don't hurt to talk, and the tanker outfit has slots open in the city my Fiancee lives in so it might be a good fit for down the road here in a couple months, when we are thinking of getting married, although my heart will always be with OTR, something she is well aware of.
