It will come down to your driver trainee
 
rather you mesh with that person or not, mine was a religious selfish prick who only thought of himself!

Howard 01-17-2008 08:15 AM

What are you talking about? Idon't need a trainer,just want to know about co.

Rockie 01-17-2008 12:23 PM

Well, the company is pretty fair, but if your a newbie, it is like any other comapny, it is how you get along with your driver trainee

I would also like to find out some things about this Co. from some ppl with first hand experience, as I have been approved by them and plan to go to orientation on 2/4/08.
Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Put the question out there and I shall reply


90% great
5% reg trucking comp crap
3% Things I feel should be differ
2% TA crap u have to deal with


Been here a yr my first job so also trained here.

BORN2DRIVE 01-19-2008 01:30 PM

wepwawet,
Thanks for the reply. I was beginning to wonder if anybody would.
I figured TA must be a pretty good Co. or that nobody on here ever worked for them because if they had and didn't like them then they would be quick to bash them.
Another question: do they have paper or electronic logs?

I looking for feedback on Transport America too,
I saw an add quote for .44 cent per mile for solo drivers? Need to call them I guess.


Other Important questions:

haz-mat required?
inverters allowed in trucks?
cabinet doors or nets?
forced dispatch or load select?
assigned driver manager/dispatcher or zone dispatch?
48states irregular route or specific freight lanes?
can they get me home?

Seems like I get a letter from them every week. Right up there with MasterCard and Visa.

ok, so if you get a letter from them every week--please enlighten me--

I just went to their web site...found 'somewhat' of an answer for a couple of those questions which elude me.

10+years = .44**

**= for exceptional work history

the ** needs more clear cut defining.

there's a place on the downloadable application where you enter 'Yes' or 'No' under haz-mat endorcement. So, Maybe required...maybe ..not?

looks like east of I-35 freight lanes--and mostly north of mason-dixie line

all the other questions still are open begging for answers.
