Swift or Prime for training?

Yeppers, ive been there also. A place called Hunts Point. What a S---Hole. Nowadays some companies even offer more pay for drivers to go to NYC. Im about to pay the 85.00 to get my TSA card. wonder if prime pays extra for HazMat loads. Guess i'll find out. Boston was cool never had problems there. Then again everything has changed over the last ten yrs. I found that the best load you can get. Is baby carrots from Grimmway farms in Bakersfield,ca to southern NJ. Now that's a trip.

 

I took a trailer to the Staten Island Target store a few days ago. I think we should get combat pay.

 

Now that's funny. True but funny.

 

More the same here, but when numbers click the right way, you'd better believe I'll make that run. If I were paid mileage, that incentive might not exist, but when I was OTR, being paid percentage of gross to the truck, and well assured that I wouldn't have to go far to get the next one, oh yeah... there were times I was pretty much begging the boss man to let me take them. Fortunately, he trusted my judgment, and we all came out ahead on those loads.

 

That's like asking what is worst being run over by a freight train or a passenger train

 

^on the website they say the pay extra for Hazmat, im'a talk to a recruiter today

 

I'm curious about this story

 

The school is just to get you enough to pass your tests to get a CDL... the real training begins afterwards. Grin and bear it.. you'll get through this.

 

I was helping a co worker find a company earlier this year. He was thinking of Stevens until he saw a YouTube of the living conditions at their training facility in CO. He signed with someone else. I don't know why companies think borderline unsafe living conditions will give them better employees!
