Trans Am Still

Is that a TA Handbook ??? Any way to get a copy ??? Is it good information ???

Seems like you really enjoy working for TA , hope it stays that way for you.

 

Yeah, it's the company handbook. Red covers for company, tan for lease. It's all the same info with a few omissions or additions where applicable. Policies, procedures, blue tree, blah blah blah.

 

thanks so much to all,well nice to know i am "sort of" doing things right-I knew i would nt be making top money nor have a dream job-yet! I do hope to stick around at least a year if not longer but hope i make it past orientation lol-I think they did say with my recent 6-8 weeks i also would be fine solo/just not sure if it was a ploy lol-i have had to real bad experiences so far with lying truck companies. Anyway thanks again and hope to getting to know some more about trucking and my fellow drivers-thanks.....ill let you know how i do this week in Olathe KS

 

Seriously, only check ups and immunizations? Guess they don't pay on glasses much either then? What about dental work? That's awful! No wonder drivers don't stay long, as company drivers with Trans Am! From the sounds of it, their insurance is down right lousy! No one plans on sickness or surgery, but stuff happens. Wow!

 

Good luck, chismi! Hope things go great for you. As many have already told you, don't go with leasing a truck. It will sound appealing, like you'll make more money, but it is financial suicide for a moderately new, inexperienced driver. Out of about 15 or 18 students at orientation, when George was hired, only 2 still work there, because they are company drivers. The other driver is melo. Also, if you are a lease driver first, they won't let you become a company driver. You can be a company driver, then lease driver later. Except for the lease driving issue, which is more likely that drivers falsely see dollar signs, TA seems to be honest and a good company to start out with.

 

thanks jungho-yes i spent two days-several hours each day-looking at old posts and other threads-NO LEASE FOR ME!! thanks!!!

 

Thats one thing that concerns me. In April my wife and I both had unexpected surgery totaled 20k glad I have good insurance. Paid almost everything.

Does anyone know why when I reply with a quote it shows a passport and me talking about our travels in Asia ?????.?.?

 

I've noticed that too, when I "reply with a quote." I delete the first quote and leave the comment I'm responding to. It wasn't always like this. Is strange,

 

Haha cool I am glad it is not just me, I thought I was going crazy

 

Trying to figure out who I pissed off at work. My next load is 1 pick up with 6 drops. Pick in NH, with 2 drops in PA, 3 drops in misery, and 1 in KS. Stretches out the whole week. 3 of them are wally worlds but think only 1 is a DC.
