For those of you that do not know me but follow my thread might be as shocked as Davis was when I told them. First and foremost I want to say that my decision to leave is NOT because of Davis. In fact I think they are an excellent company and would recommend them to everyone and anyone. My reasons for leaving are many and all personal reasons which I will not post on here. As the old saying goes….”all good things must come to an end”. Anyways, I was put in the “computer” to be routed through Missoula within the next 2 weeks to turn in the truck. I am surprised and I feel bad for both you and Davis! As I know at this point Davis did not break even with training you! On the upside MORE miles for the drivers already there at Davis! I really thought with all the research you did the past few years that you would have stayed with Davis longer than you did. I really hope that your new gig works out for you and that you stay there longer. Will you have to go through training again? BOL to you DD! Goin Fer It's Wife

I ran pretty good for them. I ran just under 30,000 miles in 3 months and never screwed around. Always delivered a day early and the last 2 times two days early. A comment like that was uncalled for.

Goin Fer It's Wife I know you probably did pay for your own airline ticket to Davis which diverted some of the cost to Davis. But Davis I believe did pay for the hotel cost, drug testing cost, checks and allot of other paper work involved. It was my understanding and maybe I am wrong that there is quite a bit of expense involved when taking on and training a new employee. I thought that you only got your first solo trip on August 8, 2007. I mean if all these trucking companies could train people and take on new people and they would still make money off of them after six weeks of work. I do not see what the big deal is about people job hopping. I am sorry that I offended you and maybe I am wrong about the cost of training someone in the trucking industry! BOL Goin Fer It's Wife |
