Starting orientation/training next week CT Transportation

First, the dispatcher has been pretty good to me. I do all I can to get the loads there on time and early, this is key to success. I also keep them informed of whatever is happening that may jeopardize my departure and/or arrival. The company is only about 400ish drivers. Your amount is not to far off from what I heard. CT is primarily SE area (which is a region to other companies that offer regional), however you will see PA, OH, IN, MO, TX and some New England. OTR is over the road and not a dedicated/local driver, which I trained with for two weeks and I hated it. Remember, treat those respect to earn respect. No matter how bad things are be nice. A statement that was in Roadbouse.

 

I do take the perdiem. It is roughly $57/day, and is not taxed.

 

I know it does and I only take it, because I get a retirement check from my 20 years in Navy, I have a disability check coming in also and my wife works also, so already having a home, my cars and etc. I am okay with the perdiem. I would and I have stated the same thing to others like you have.

Retired_2009, things are going well. I have nothing major to complain about. Nothing that would drive me away from CT. You will learn that the complaint that one driver has against a company are typically the same across the boards as other company drivers would have.
