Flattie Is Officially Leaving For Company Training!

My brother in law just quit swift after a week. He said he was paired win an owner op or lease op and sat for 5 days without a load. I tried to convince him to stay and talk to his DM about switching trainers but he's already been dropped off the truck. He already quit Roehl and Usxpress prior, and now swift. I want to help him but his chances are quite slim now.

Oh wow he is definitely not starting this Career off in a Great way. I hope you can get through to him

He already quit Roehl and Usxpress prior, and now swift.

Some people really don't understand how the trucking industry works at all I'm afraid. They get the wrong expectations in their head and when things inevitable don't go as they expect they figure everyone they're dealing with must be idiots.

That must be a fun guy to hang out with. Bet he has all kinds of positive stuff to say about trucking.

I considered trying to get him on here at maverick but they're pretty strict on employment among other things.

I had a guy send me an email the other day mistakenly thinking I'm a recruiter for one of the company-sponsored programs. He apparently just got off the phone with them after trying to land an opportunity to go through training. Here's the entire email:

Minus 5 for not being on time
Minus 5 for having me on hold for 4 minutes
Minus 5 for sounding asleep when finally connected

I do not have BS tolerance anymore. If you tell me to call at 8:10, then I’m dialing when the time changes from 8:09. I did not set up the call times, if the times don’t work for whoever is supposed to answer… change it.

And that's how that guy acts when he's hoping for an opportunity to get his training paid for by a company. Can you imagine what he would be like to deal with if he actually became a truck driver and his self-importance was even higher? Another real fun guy I'll bet!

True Brett. When I asked him what he was going to be paid he had no idea. I don't think any research went into the industry on his part. He was fired from Roehl for a cellphone ticket in his personal car. It's a mess

I think the gene pool needs more CHLORINE!

I could be wrong, but seems like someone was going after a driver referral and got it. Advice from someone who gains nothing from your decision is usually best.

Best of luck.
