    Every company sucks balls your first year. Every company.

    They know you have few options, and are dog meat, so they treat you as such.

    At one year in, with a clean record, the doors to many better companies swing open.

    Job hopping will kill you, It is something they look at.

    If you make a move, stay there until you get your year in. Otherwise just grind it out where you are.

    Every place for the first year is the same BS with a different name on the door.

    The trainer gets angry at the slightest thing. I've had securement equipment snatched from my hand (it was not a safety issue), been cursed at for taking too long to back inside a building (first time I attempted it), cursed at for going left when I was told to go left, told to get the **** out of the way because I was confused about a securement and I was taking too long because the trainer wanted to get done faster, etc. PITA. Almost lost my military bearing a few times.

    We are due to leave out again Monday at 0200 for a short run. I'm asking for a new trainer Monday once we return to the terminal.

    Thought you want a new company?
    Melton Truck Lines is one of the best flatbed out there.
