Hey, so, I applied to Gordon, was hired, supposed to go to orientation at Indy on the 8th. Got a decent sign on bonus and a good starting rate, as I'll be on the TC side. I've been out here 11 years, been with my current company for almost 6 years. I've always wanted to work at Gordon, them being a Northwest company and I love driving west, trucks and trailers look good and fairly well maintained, and every driver I talk to seems relatively happy with them. I wasn't expecting them to hire me though, lol. I know the way I'm used to doing things will have to change, as I pretty much do what I want (within the realms of reason and good business) and never drove a slow truck before. I guess I'm having some issues to whether I'm making the right move. So,Gordon guys and gals, tell me what I can expect. Where will I be running, what kind of miles should I expect every week, are the trucks & trailers maintained? How fast or slow do the. TC trucks run? What do I need to know to be successful at GTI TC division? Where I work now, its a smaller company and everyone knows me and knows I'll run. I'm going into a totally different situation. I wanted to, at least I think I do. So, please, lol, help me. I'd really appreciate it because I'm having a hard time deciding whether I made the right choice or not. Thank you and be safe.

Only question back to you is this...Why are you leaving where you've been for 6 years? Did you check out Gordon before you applied? I know they were a really good company back in the 80's, but then that was in the "good ol' days" ! Hope you have good luck. I'm looking to find a good company to team with and most companies will tell you what you want to hear. Good luck. Sorry I wasn't any help to you, but just wondered why you're leaving 6 years behind?

Things have changed, the insurance is bad, and I want to run west more. They aren't a bad company and I would recommend drivers to them.
-
And I researched Gordon as well. It's just one of those things.

Congratulations on Your move, I recently made a move to another company after being there for seven years. I don't like changes. But it was for the best, better insurance, I only stay out a week at a time. Also like the northwest. Just adjusting to their way of things.
joseph1135 Thanks this. -
If they have what you want, go for it. Worse that can happen is you go back to Lessors
-
I'm glad to hear that you researched Gordon. I wish you all the luck in the world. Stay safe out there, but have fun!!

Not really. Some guy has a hard on for me because I called out bad drivers a while back.
-
I guess there is absolutely no one who works for this company.
