New Husband/Wife Team needs help with questions....please?

so i guess the best thing to do is not only watch out for swift and cr england and stevens now add schnieder to that list --- who else am i missing

 

Werner has trainers with only three months experience.

 

Every trucking company,newbies or not.They all have good and bad drivers,whether 2 weeks or 20 years driving experience.

 

Well said!

 

My experience with Covenant about 10 years ago. I left JB to go there with a newbie friend so she wouldn't have to start her career at 24 cents a mile. They started her in the mid 30's and me at 49. She got sent to the sand box with the guard and I got a couple of new team drivers. One was experienced and we did as well as we were allowed to, which wasn't much. They had a bad habit of running us from Dalton, GA to Seattle, WA then have us sit for 36 hours before reloading to return. We always had hours, never late, usually early, but could only beg about 3500 miles a week on average. He left because of the poor miles. My next "partner" was a student they put in the truck and didn't tell me. When I quit and cleaned my stuff out of the truck after a couple years he got in trouble with Cov. for driving to the terminal by himself because he wasn't "qualified". We were laid over in NJ at an Oasis in the summer and was told by dispatch to go sit in the building in the A/C for 24 hours and not to idle the truck. We idled. When they charged us for the fuel, I quit. If they could have kept the truck moving there wouldn't have been any idle time to speak of. They didn't allow inverters then, don't know about now. Pets were okay, we had 2 cats. I was put in a Columbia with 360k miles on it... and was still in it when I quit a couple years later with around 500k. I'd recommend Schneider from your list of choices.... thinking about moving there myself.

 

W went though cr englands school 1 year ago we trained together overall it was good the only problem we had with england was there pay was low now we work for conway and life is good

 

Well, good luck finding someone to train two of you on the same truck. I wouldn't agree to do it if I were a trainer.

 

I wonder how they're doing now. Their post is 4 years old.
They haven't posted since December 2012.

 

Takes a while for some to catch up, I guess
