Profile For Rhino

Ok I will hopefully goes well. Will be better money to.

Oh ok I didn’t even notice that new thing going on.

Welcome back! I'm sorry about the Yellow situation, but I'm glad you landed on your feet. Keep us posted on how it all goes.

New was a typo dk how that got there in the title lol nope there done for no deal. I don’t see how one could be done at this point. Yes he most certainly is.

I thought a deal had been cut with Yellow? To prevent this? I must be wrong then, thought I read that somewhere. This is an awful situation that affects over 33,000 people, glad you found a job so fast.

As Bobcat stated, many won’t be so lucky.

God is good man, God is good

I don’t think so unfortunately hope the best for them

I am glad to hear it. I was wondering what you were up to.

You are very lucky, I'm afraid most will not be as fortunate.

Hi all been awhile well as y’all may know yellow is shutting its doors and I am out of a job. My trainer is friends with our old terminal manager from Reddaway who is with oak harbor now so I had a job interview and road test. I start Monday at oak harbor and will be a system driver. Which is I will help out other terminals that need help with linehaul and I can be out 5 days at a time and home weekends. Pay will be better then at yellow. Just glad I was able to get job so fast thank God.

I work at yellow. We r teamsters union. But no pension. Only 401k.

It seems intimidating but it’s actually really quite easy. Imo. Just take turns a little wider and take your time. In winter if it’s snowing you can’t pull triples. I haven’t had to much of a problem with crack of the whip but if the rear trailer starts to swing just slow it down. I prefer doubles and triples over a 53’ lol

I work for yellow. I can not tell u about their dock to driver program sorry. They hired me straight out of truck driving school. They trained me n sent me on my way. I know there were a few dock guys that did get trained thru that program but I don’t know how long it took them I didn’t know them so never talked to them. Sorry that don’t help.

Chuck Norris threw a grenade and killed 50 people, then it exploded

Not a whole lot to be said so far. There just trying to eliminate layovers and more efficient deliveries. Starting sept 18th we will have to rebid new runs and and will all be meet and turn runs so will be home everyday. That’s about the only thing I know right now. I’m sure more will come in time. Thanks I haven’t been on in while just been working and doing life lol

I applied straight out of private truck driving school. Did a interview and drive test. Took about 2 months then was hired on. Trained me for about 3 weeks 4 top then sent me on my way. It’s been treating me good. We r merging right now so think we r gonna be hiring soon.

My predicament is that I can't be gone from my house longer than 2-3 weeks, so I'd like to have a trainer that works in Las Vegas so I can take my off time at my house. If my trainer lives in Salt Lake City, for example, I'd have to take my time off there and I don't know how I could get to Las Vegas then back to Salt Lake City in time...

Brian;

Now that we've clarified all the 'indecencies' of trucking; have you ever considered LTL??

We had a real huge success story from a guy on here not too long ago (Where IS he, y'all?) named Rhino, that got on with USF/Reddaway, in a training program, right there by you!!!

If you weren't so snarky, I'd post the link.

Okay fine, I'll be the 'nicer' person; here ya go: ~Rhino's comment history on Trucking Truth~

Take a look see; it worked for him!
