    Not the first person has attacked you in this thread. However, your arrogance will likely result in you being a short-term member of this forum.

    My wife and I are taking a job with Inland Express to learn LTL. It pays .50 cpm to me and .42 cpm for her. But will go to.65 over time. But neither of us have driven in the last 10 years. We feel good about the company so we're doing orientation tomorrow.

    ABL trucking counter offered with.
    5000 team miles on dedicated run
    .62 cpm
    Weekends off
    $3000 per driver sign on bonus
    Change policy to allow our cats.
    We turned it down because we want LTL.

    I'm in Utah so I don't know what other parts of the country are paying but with the lack of willing workers now is the time to look for opportunities.

    That wasn’t an attack. You should realize with your vast life experience.

    I should have worded my response better meaning one can go demand higher pay and get laughed out the door. Not meaning you. It worked for you, that’s definitely not the norm.

    And you did come off arrogant/super truckerish/ I know more because I’m older. Your rebuttal to my post pretty much painted the picture.

    You won’t be banned because your new here. You’ll be banned from your posts. If your arrogance can’t let you see what’s wrong……well I got nothing for you.

    Now I gotta get back to the old folks home. Today is craft day and we are making doilies. I’m also handing out free denture cream.
    R-E-S-P-E-C-T yo elders.

    Not as much pay as say Old Dominion, but for not have driven in such a long time it gets your foot in the door. Are they making you do any re-training?

    I will take the time to give the low down on things here and hopefully you can assimilate.
    ...I too have had my hand slapped by the mods btw and having been here a few days I can tell you that for the most part we are we respect each other and if you see something you don't like ignore it or hit the ignore button on the member .
    Senior members here get irked when new members appear and think they are gonna rule the roost and be rude or condescending...that don't fly here and most get banned.
    I think you have some things to offer but since the mods cleaned house here a few years ago things are more peaceful here and being a bully isn't tolerated, when you go after a tenured member you will likely stir the ire of other members
    Be nice and we will be to you .
     
    Knucklehead, TB John, JoeyJunk and 3 others Thank this.
