Hey Op,
Every day is a new adventure, 1.5 years with Covenant should get you in the door at other trucking jobs. What you posted reminds me of the previous company i worked for that had shotty equipment. Do not apply with Priority, they have the shotiest equipment. Within the first 3 month i worked for them, 70 drivers left all because of several reasons: 1) Shotty equipment 2) good miles, as long as you get it there in 9 hours (1500 miles in 9 hours, which is not possible legally or illegally) 3) switched a bunch of people around in the office, over 85% of them do not know what they are doing. 4) half a*# directions, i personally was terminated all because i got lost due to lousy directions. What i stated above is "THE TRUTH" about Priority, and Op, if Priority comes calling asking you if you'd like to work for them, take my advice, avoid them like the plague. |
