Pride Transport, SLC Deceptive Hiring Practices

Pure butthurt. Oh but massa, please dont report me massa, at least not until mjd logs back in later. You see last time someone had additional information about you it turned out to be true so let's see if mjd has something. I think he does because you wouldn't be trying so hard if he didn't.

 

Already reported you. You are a nuisance. Doing so again because you insist on doubling down.

 

.....and aaawwwwaaaayyyy we go!

 

That's pretty funny.

 

The Great One! Always the best!

 

Pride Transport Reviews | TruckersReport
Well here are some of the reviews on the company-and they weren’t on Google!

 

True, not Google reviews, but I don't put much stock in online reviews, as a whole. As far as online reviews go, these really weren't all that bad. One consistent thing (which is something that I do pay attention to in reviews) is the equipment at Pride is apparently pretty good. Trucking is hard work that is demanding. By virtue of this fact, even the best companies will have negative reviews online. What I find valuable is getting information from current or recent drivers who don't have an axe to grind regarding the company. Thank you for the input. Take care.

 

It’s not exactly an axe to grind if the drivers are posting their experiences. If there are drivers happy with the company then they would post it as such in the “Good Company” forum and not the “Bad Company” forum.
Something to bear in mind.

 

This is the part you seem to not grasp, for some reason: In any industry, with any customer base or employee base, the people who are generally happy don't seek out platforms to post reviews. It's the nature of human beings to want to tell everyone who might read it that so-and-so company is terrible in this regard. No one bothers to seek out a platform to post a review for "so-and-so company was decent, but not exceptional." I don't expect Pride Transport to be exceptional. It is run by human beings, so I expect there to be some human mistakes. But, if they generally try to do the right thing for their customers, their employees, and their profits, then I think that's a decent company. For that kind of company, I will work my butt off and remain loyal for as long as it is worthwhile for myself and my family to work in that industry.
Do you ever post reviews about any experiences you have, i.e. employment, services, products, etc? If so, when was the last time you posted a review for something that was decent but not exceptional in any way?
Oh, before you get to commenting about looking for an exceptional company, I want to leave this thought: I have no experience in trucking. I have 2 accidents in the past 5 years. I have a 15-year-old felony conviction. I have attended one orientation without actually gaining experience with a company. I have a spotty work history. Lastly, my CDL is over 1 year old. I am most definitely not an exceptional candidate for a trucking job. Wouldn't it be foolish of me to expect to find an exceptional trucking company willing to hire me? I have time and work that needs to be put into this industry before I can consider myself worthy of being hired by an exceptional company. Pride Transport is obviously not the best company out there, but I guarantee that a person can do a whole lot worse than Pride. For someone in my position, an opportunity at Pride looks pretty #### good.
