Should I stay or go?

Many Many moons ago, I did that, They sent me to get the DOT physical, next day, YIPPY KI YEAAAA.

 

Wow!!

Has *** really gotten that bad???

I did orientation there and stayed for about a month. At least they fixed the trucks properly back then. That was in 07.

 

i've been thinkin' about trying for that same company.....so, is it all about the image...hhmmm......i've gotta dig deeper i guess!!!

 

Good post. No matter which company it is, different people will have a bit of a different experience than you did. If you had been a day later, or a day earlier getting started YOU would have had a different experience.

(That's not to say it would have been a better one, just a different one.)

 

I can understand, I've had days where NOTHING works on my truck.
(or I should say "the parts just keep on breakin'")
So it'd be really embarrasing to have a student on with me when that happend.
Sometimes it really is just a bad week with an old truck.

And after I left my (big national carrier) I was willing to do ANYTHING. I had such a bad experience I even considered going back into the Taxi/Livery buisness. I'd moved back in with my mother after my lease expired on the apt I was never in anymore, and was looking at all sorts of jobs. But there was one listing back in PA. A 3 hour drive for an interview? Well they were the first to get back to me, so let me set it up.

I came out with a nice set of clothes and a briefcase in my two seater. By the end of the day not only did I have a job,,, but I had a load the following morning!

I needed a hotel and 3 pairs of clothes just to get me though the week.

For the next month I stayed in a cheap flophouse and lived in my car untill I could get a place. And on weekends I had a 3 hour commute "home".

So I suppose stranger things have happend.

Good luck with your new company. Who knows,,, maybe your old company still thinks you work for them.
