    Man it’d be nice to work for a trucking company that doesn’t f you over; I’ve been here in Mississippi, 8 hours away from my home in Louisiana for 8 weeks now, training is only 6 weeks but I had to sit here for 2 weeks without a trainer, had a local trainer for one week, got pulled out from underneath me, finally after sitting around those two weeks I got an OTR trainer, went out for two weeks, thought I was doing pretty good (besides backing) and after spending about $200 on food/supplies for the next two weeks, after sitting around this dump for two days, right outta the blue they tell me they’re parting ways with me.

    Oh that was Big M Transportation I was referring to, I was let go from Schneider for setting off the critical event on the computer (stopped roughly, turned too hard twice), but as I’m sure I mentioned above I was let go for not “progressing” quickly enough at Big M, proud to say I didn’t have one critical event lol I’m working on giving it another shot, kinda slim pickings for me, but Chinatown gave me a few good leads I’m gonna check on this Monday (already applied).
     
    Rocknroller4 and x1Heavy Thank this.
