Married... I've been caught up with the TA, tire and shop issues. I've had to wait for money to be placed on the card to pay for some work done. Im in a 05 FL with 439900 miles on it. I do need maintaince but just don't and cant afford to be in Tulsa, OK. I've been away from my region twice and felt that I was past over by the planers for there regional trucks. Seems like its really polictial for loads. I do like the company and have met the president. He seemed a decent enough guy when I met him. I can only assume that the people under him have him insulated from what is going on in the day to day operation of the company.
Hopefully the loads start coming now that January has past us.
With my rollover it was hard enough to find a job last July. I can only imagine how hard it would be to jump ship now at this time in the economy.
Are you still having to wait for money to be put on the card to get repairs since Arrow switched from Comdata to TCH? I figured that was one of the things they were doing to fix that problem, but wasn't sure if it helped.
And they hired you with a roll over? They have all those posters up saying no tolerance for roll overs. I would agree then, at least be sure to have another job lined up before leaving.
They sent out a message saying they would replace the entire fleet in the next five years last year, and heard there were going to order some International Pro Stars in '09. Hope that happens and the guys in FL's will probably get them first.
And I hear you about the politics, they have told me that they don't have any long loads or something before, and I might do my DM a favor or something and all of the sudden they can pull loads out of thier ***** that they were just telling you didn't exist a week before. They don't mind lying to you if it helps them out. But it's probably like that at a lot of companies.
Hope things go well with you there any ways and keep us posted how things are going from time to time.
