Referrals gone wrong

yup, been there done that. lol

 

So he never wore his "Mega Carrier Uniform" when you were working with him?

 

I would have a talked with him. Tell him he’s making you look bad. And apologize to the company. Let the company know to cut him loose if necessary, no hard feelings.

 

Years ago the company I was driving for, the vice president of operations asked me if I knew anybody looking for a driving job for his personal truck leased on to the co.
I said yes. I knew a guy I used to work with a few years earlier, he was a very good driver.
He hired him and a few months later I asked the VP how he was working out. He said I fired him because he was into to him for 3K in comchecks for his cocaine problem!
Talk about looking for a rock to crawl under!

 

Having worked most of my 12 year trucking career as a local driver, I have met and worked with my share of former OTR drivers trying to switch over to a local job.

I hate to say it, but in my experience, they are almost all like this. It rarely ends well. They usually come in thinking they know everything, then two weeks later they are gone.

To be fair, I would almost certainly be just as useless as an OTR driver! LOL

 

I think many of us have learned that the hard way……#### near cost me a very good produce buyer years ago…. Who told me he could use couple more trux at his disposal…..
Recommended a guy I’d know quite awhile whom I ran w/and respected
Yeah that was first and last

 

My question is who interviewed him? Sounds like a failure on their part. Pretty easy to weed out the chaff in a 10 minute interview.
