New Podcast From "The Road Home" - Why Stick With Your First Company One Full Year?
Good message, Brett. I'm new, started driving in September and learning like crazy. I've read, and heard, various opinions on staying vs leaving a company within the first year, and your position makes a lot of sense. We tend to only look at how we personally benefit, or not, from our decisions, rather than considering the bigger picture, like orientation /training costs, and such. Having hired on with a company that pays a hiring bonus, the bulk of which is paid after 6 mos, I'd be crazy to walk away sooner, though from what you just said, I would be wise to buckle up and continue learning with this company until reaching the year mark. I've spent a lot of time on your site, and have learned a lot that helped me decide to pay for school myself and what to ask and look for as I looked at various companies out there. I've learned more on this site than any of the others and appreciate the wealth of information you offer here. Thx!

Speaking of lies and misinformation, how do I learn more about Prime Logistics Inc?
One thing I learned from this site was most people that post negative reviews have a chip on their shoulder and a bad attitude to match. Watch a driver's review on YouTube and you'll see what I mean. They're angry, blaming, and rarely take responsibility for their own actions, which if you listen closely, is usually why they're sitting there complaining. According to them it's always the company's fault. Now all companies are not created equal, and the good ones will definitely treat you better then some of the others, but either way it's your personal work ethic and attitude that determines how you get on with the company. Personally I find that if I'm doing my job with a good attitude and I'm willing to go the extra mile, then it all works out. If you're new in the industry you're probably going to cut your teeth with a company that might not treat you with the utmost respect. That said, if you work hard, have a good ethnic and attitude, you'll do well and doors will open for you at betters companies. The moral of the story is work hard, do your job right, and the benefits will come.
