what a horrible 7 days, Flew into kansas city,MO on the 6th. The taxi picked me up at no cost and transam trucking set me up in a holiday inn in Olathe,kansas. 3 days of useless orientation. Meet up with my trainer on March 9th. I have absolutley no idea why i had to have one. I have 6 months Over The Road Experience ( OTR ) roughly 23,000 miles. Well anyway. I would have to spend 3 weeks or 160 hours with him
Meet up with the dude named Frog at the terminal. Canāt leave until his truck gets fixed at the kenworth shop. He wrecked in a lady a few miles outside the company. That should have thrown a red flag to me, but i just wanted to get shit done. I said fuck it iām driving anyway and not deal with his excuse for being a moron. First load from olathe,KS is going to carteret, new jersey.
hauling ribbi and meats from TYSON. this load is worth about 1.5 million dollars. 39,864 pounds of it.
He wants to go home just outside st. louis missouri for a little bit. thats fine as long as its not a long time. I leave the trailer in a small shopping plaza, put the king pin lock on it so nobody can steal the trailer. He jumps in the tractor and bobtails about 30 miles to his house. we get there and he asks his 12 year old son to get some batteries from the sleeper of the truck.
The son gets in the house, forgets 1 Battery and this dude goes apeshit, starts smacking the kid around. litteraly beating the fuck out of him for something stupid. I immediately call trans am and tell them i want a new trainer. I hear be patient wait a few days. No i yell, get me a new trainer NOW!. ok weāll see who is around. No one is around they called me a few minutes later. Ok Iām takiing this load to new jersey ( about 950 miles away )and calling you for a damn new trainer.
The trainer says iām sorry for you to see this, I said no iām sorry your a fuckhead your not a man to me. Get this load to new jersey and iām out of here. āwhat your leaving the companyā?? No iām leaving your sorry ass excuse for being a trainer. words where exchanged and this dude is furious.
tension the whole way to new jersey. we get the load unloaded. I call up transam and demanded a new trainer. " im sorry non are available" the fleet manager told me.
Bullshit. Iām driving this piece of shit to New Stanton, Pa and your employee frog will have to deliver this load to oklahoma for himself.
I had someone meet me in new stanton at 3am to take me home,
This trainer never did his log books, had a severe case of road rages.
I have lost close to $2,800 in pay to switching companies.
Iām going back to us xpress with NO burnt bridges.
theres plenty more to say, but its not worth putting it on here.
They put $200 on my comdata card and then blocked access to it.
So i have to wait until saturday to get a measely $200 check from them.
Called us xpress and i start back with them thank goodness on my regular Dollar General account
:eek: :eek: :eek:
Thatās why you donāt burn bridges. Glad you had a place to go back to!
definitley, I canāt believe this guy is a trainer. Now its making me think of becoming a trainer because of this asshole and me make close to $20,000 more a year. My trainer at us xpress was a pro, i would like to pass it on what i learned from him. I did not tell the trainer at transam i had drove before. who knows what he thought.
DAMNā¦ thats crazyā¦
glad you can go back to your old company.
Now i see why the turn over rate in trucking is 160%. thats not a mis print. 160%. dumbass people giving the truckers a bad sterotype.
