    PAM=Penny A Mile. One of the worst of the worst bottom feeders. You can do much, much better.

    Does anyone know if xpo still has that training program where they give a dock job to the new hire and train them how to drive. In the evening just like YRC? That may be a better beganing then the likes of going trough a box starter company.

    I gave up on UPS . They posted a ad for the local barn, stopped by to touch base , and see what the opening was. Was told there was no ad , and there was no opening. If there was a opening , he would have been the one posting it. Was on UPS's site! Guess some bodies brother-n-law was lined up to get it? That's fine , but don't lie to my face...

    Yeah there isn't a whole lot. I mean, I'll travel to where I need to. Typical companies are calling like CRST, C.R ENGLAND, PAM.
