New horizons with Holland Enterprises (Fargo,ND)

DAY TWO

Done with Day 2 around 4pm.... paperwork paperwork and the usual safety stuff. They are VERY hot on safety and it shows in their CSA scores. Chat with the payroll lady and with Ruth a very nice lady who pretty much takes care of all the drivers needs, hometime requests and the like, and meet with the insurance lady. Insurance is OK for single but HIGHLY expensive for Family.....which if you are insuring your spouse too comes to over $700/month....yes!!!! If it is yourself and a child it would be just over $400.

Drug test results came back fine (was not expecting anything else, but for some reason always get nervous about them!!!) there was one other guy here that had been here since last week waiting for his drug test results but he apprantly tested positive and was sent home.....it amazes me that people STILL think they can get away with this!!!

Bonuses that truly ARE achievable....100% of drivers got the fuel bonus last quarter... 0.01c/mile for 6.5mpg average also mileage bonuses and safety bonus which is a little more difficult, around 50% of the drivers got that...there are a LOT of disqualifiers for it...

Hopefully should be getting on the road today or tomorrow at the latest.

 

DAY THREE

Wrap up the last of the Orientation paperwork today get my stuff in my truck and meet with the dispatch staff. All seem a friendly bunch and they dispatch regionally which i prefer. Get my first load assignment so I can head home and get my stuff.
