Ok here is what you do.....drive for a year, take your week vacation...."accidently" dont come back from your vacation for another 3 weeks. And then let them hire you back. Should work...lol
LISTEN to this guy! He is a recruiter, I think. He KNOWS how these companies treat / hire / pay their drivers. His advice about TAKING your vacation week, with pay, or at least staying for one year to EARN that week's PAY before 'deciding' to make a strategic life enhancement move, is brilliant... and would earn MANY of us an extra $500 - 900!
Besides.... if we ALL would give our first FULL year to whatever fate we 'chose' out of school, the turnover rate would become more reasonable, MANY drivers would settle their issues without UNsettling their lives so often, and the companies would be able to "ease up" a little and PLAN on a certain level of "driver resources."
AND..... If we ALL earned a week's vacation this year.... and agreed to ALL take the SAME week.... well... there's your "trucker strike!" Shut the economy down for one week.... write our own ticket after THAT!
Yeah... I know! Sooner see PIGS fly!! :lol:
