Utah Companies?

My wife and I went to their school and did our 90 days (Every New Guy Leaves After Ninety Days) and have never experienced so much unprofessionalism and ******** ever. Oh yeah, they tell you everything's going to be great but, in the end, they simply want to rip you off, make you work your *** off and put your life in danger.

Go to England and prepare to be treated like a second-class citizen, prepare to work for peanuts and have them run you, just don't let DOT find out! Then try to collect your pay! HAHAHA! You'll be nickeled and dimed to death by these morons (mormons, hypocrites.)

I'm a college educated man. Was in a "professional" occupation and tired of the rat race. I was looking for a "simpler" life and although I have no regrets because I'm enjoying trucking, I've been totally shocked at the way these people conduct business and wonder why the law hasn't caught up with them?!

ENGLAND THRIVES ON TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE POOR AND UNEDUCATED.

These thieves will suck you into their school, charge you an outrageous amount of money, hide their thievery on your pay vouchers behind such classifications as "reserve" then tell you you'll "get it all back" if you leave the company or after "x" amount of time.

ENGLAND has a well-orchestrated way of misleading their drivers.

Now that we've put in our "missionary" work with these aholes, we're moving on to a new company with MUCH better pay (approximately twice the pay), benefits and bonuses (England tells you about bonuses but they don't really exist.)

There are a lot of companies out there, the big ones all may be the same, I'm not sure but, there are also a lot of companies out there that are genuine in helping their people instead of RIPPING THEM OFF.

Do your homework. Good Luck!

I did as you are doing, went with a St. George company that has done a good job running me and teaching me the 'real business' - a friend went with a larger company, prolly got better formal training, but less of the "real world" - your first six months are going to be hard work, low pay and high risk - would recommend you choose a company that will train you very well, pay you honestly and plan to leave them after about 6 months, mostly to increase your pay.

When it comes to Utah, one should look in the newspaper help-wanted ads to find the companies he DOESN'T want to work for, and then take that knowledge to the Q-West Yellow Pages. There are lots of companies in Salt Lake that don't advertise in the local papers for drivers. This is because they don't have to advertise. They know how to keep their drivers, after all. You'll find these companies in that phone book under "trucking" or "hauling". Mark off the bad companies from the newspaper and then go to town calling the companies that are left. You probably won't find something right away. You'll have to be put on a waiting list and may even need experience. It's all good, though. You definitely want to wait out a good job over and above going to work for one of the easy-to-get newspaper-ad companies. Just remember there's a good reason those jobs are easy to get. It's the same reason their ads are in the papers every bloo-muhd day.

 

who are some good companies to drive for?

 

Correct on Andrus - they are family owned and run - good people, not hung up on all the details, appreciate hard runners. For details, call HR/Recruiting at 800-888-5838. My big reason for coming to them, and staying, is they get me home each weekend for my reset. Very important to me and my life.

My buddy went with Werner - has now left, due to low pay.

Good luck!
