As far as all co training the same , not true. I've been with 4 different compenys and went with trainers with all of them. First one was the worst, team driveing with no supervision and I had no real exp. driveing at that time. With the number of close calls I had it's a wonder that I didn't kill someone! After 3 weeks I parked at a T/S in E. St. Louis to take a shower and never went back!( I wonder how long trainer looked for me, or if he even did) #2 After some time off the road I went with the big orange machine, they put me in there school as I had a cdl but hadn't driven for awhile, but even when with a trainer I rarely remember him being in the back while I was driving and even then only a few minites at a time. Left them after about 6 mo. #3 Went with JB my training there consited of short hauls to a Wal mart and made it back to the yard evry day/night and stayed in a hotel did that for 5 days learned a lot there! stayed there about 6 mo too #4 After a couple of years I wanted to drive again and went with Crete It was a different world from day one, I won't bore you with tales of how much I like it here but I will tell you what I don't like. 1 the pet policy, it dosn't effect me now, but when OTR it would have. (I believe they have changed it tho.) #2 It wouldn't hurt to put a little more $$ into driver comfort at the terminals #3 dispatch I hear drivers slamming them but I wouldn't want that job so I cut them alot of slack, they seemed to keep me moving pretty good so what else can I say there? #4 breakdown, they do need to get MORE people there so they can process the wok faster, still when needed they do there job and get get you help when needed. #5 I don't get paid for holidays, that may be the norm in trucking but it was a surprise to me. While on pay I'd love to make more then what I make, lots more! BUT I have to say I'M not going anywhere!! So you can see from my short and humble experince that there is a huge difference in training, sorry to go on so long the rant is now over |
