Team Driving - is it a way to start?

why did you team up exactly?

 

Are you saying even the bottom feeders won't take you? It's probably temporary. They'll fire some people/have some people leave in your area and hire 10 times as many people as they need, is what it seems like sometimes. I remember i had to call werner every two weeks for monthsssss to see if they were hiring in michigan yet. When i went to orientation, there was 4 people on the bus all the way from Benton Harbor, MI to Indianapolis.

 

If a person takes a job with a co. that everyone here is saying NO NO NO!!!! How long would you need to stick it out before you could go to another co. with "Experience" ???

 

Probably longer than you were willing to stick it out with the bad company . Look at it this way . The better companies are smaller with a far lower turnover percentage . There are very few openings available for the thousands wanting to make a move .

 

Thanks Rick. #### this is depressing.

 

Im not understanding how people can say there is nothing out there. I was on the road for several years, came off to try some office management stuff and to please my wife. She has since left and I have went back on the road, loving it. This guy I work for has been a joke from the beginning, so I put out a few feelers and I had 3 offers last week and one already today. I took my drug test for Empire cartage of Garland Texas this morning, going to start with him as soon as the results come back. No worries there.

Everyone is having trouble, but if you have a good work history, and clean mvr and background you really have no problem finding quality employment. Im not saying this is the case always, but seems everyone that is looking and cant find something there is something in their past that is costing them. I hope the young people today understand what they do today will cost them eventually. just my two cents worth. There are opportunities out here, you just have to stand out in a crowd.

 

No skeletons here. Just no exp. and too many with exp. looking at the same time as me. I have clean DMV, no gaps and same house for 21 years.

 

After the training, My SDM told me that the only option at the time was to do Team 48 with a total stranger who didnt live anywhere near me. I figured there was going to be issues when it came to who was gonna talk the holidays off. I figured at least having a co driver who lived next to me was the lesser of two evils.
