PAM REALITY

I'm not going to get all down on PAM . They do have a few positive points. One being they have a decent CDL school and program to get you on the road in a short time. They do have good equipment. You are paid what is owed to you, never had an issue. What is true here like any company, your DM makes you, or breaks you. The ones here, are simply disconnected from caring about you. The miles are low, hence affecting pay. I have talked to some lease operators here that say the money is good, but the lease balloon at the end is ridiculous. I recommend PAM as a start, and that's all. Seeing how the DM's are here, I am hesitant to even go near the lease program . Soon, I am going team here with the wife, we'll see how the miles are .... or off we go to a greener field.

 

Yet they have drivers here for 10+ years.

 

Don't know her, I stay away from the company as much as possible.

 

I'll write a short update. I started to call other companies so that in 3 months, when my wife gets some experience, we both can leave PAM. There is no money here, there is no way to get any help from any office people here. This is a dead end company. They evidently make money by squeezing the life out of new drivers. Experienced drivers here like me are not wanted. After a 34 hr restart, they still have no work, but they have trucks coming in and out all day. Here it's all a game, and I'm tired of playing their game. PAM is the worste company I have seen so far. I can honestly say that SWIFT is a better company. And that speaks volumes.

 

That's Pam reality. 5 months, out 2+ weeks ... 13k ... and they claim upto $50k 1st year. Pam is full of crap. Plain and simple.
