    Mr dude i have to agree. One I found out since I was asked to leave, had a problem like mine. She use to drive for prime and prime was to fax verification over to them. Well from what i was told from a guy that exchanged phone numbers with me was that prime told jb hunt that the woman was off for 2 days and wasn't going to send it back until monday and they sent her home with no truck yesterday and i asked him if they will bring her back on monday and she told him that she told jb if they send her home, she is not coming back and jb told her thats ok, there are 50 others we can get in your truck.

    i told all on here that was going to see how it is really like with the big ones in oreintation. monday i have orientation with another big one and i will see how it goes. if I am kept, great, if not, i will tell everyone either way what happens and how they really are. i also asked if jb was going to pull b.s. on my dac after i was asked to leave, of course they said no but i know someone who will pull it for me twice a week to make sure there isnt.

    Calm down ,get focused.Trucking isn't going away Hopefully bad companies will.J B is a cattle call,a place to start,maybe.There are many out there.Small companies might help you, even train you in your area.Smaller is sometimes better when your startiing out.

    dude that does suck. sorry to hear. you might want to get a copy of your DAC after 30 days is up and no sooner or it won't show up. basically you'll have 30 days til something shows up if they gave you a bad rap.

    hopefully you learned your lesson and will stay away from companies like JB, CR englund, swift, werner, etc.

    yea i have to agree with you all .. thing is i have over 7 yrs experience and the smaller companies in my area dont do much except regional and i would like to get a 48 state and just run and not come home until spring. and i asked them lazy investigators for 4 days to call her that she was leaving on saturday the 1st of dec and they called her on the 2nd of dec. oh well ... hell with it.. will just go to the other orientation tomorrow and see what it brings.. i will let you all know who it is when it is over ...

    I definitely would get a copy of my DAC.... J.B is notorious about putting all kinds of false and negative things o peoples DAC....

    I do think I said to you last week to scratch of J.B.
    If I did the I can say told you so.....

    I'm always amazed that people even bother with companies like these!! Fortunately, I learned quickly from my mistakes (had to get my experience somewhere back then) and I now drive for a large LTL carrier on a schedule. Could never imagine goin' back to the nonsense that these large companies subject you to.. Why put yourself through it?
