Wow talk about productive!

Thanks brett thanks keith. Definently consoling. They did offer me a chance to sit at home for a few days but i didnt want that. Oh well i guess its just like the highway, the pavement isn't always smooth.

Your right. Its been frustrating since mid last week. I guess im not looking at the big picture. Come to think of it they did just do me a favor and get me home on short notice and even offer me a couple extra days home. We can be so quick to forget. Thanks turtle.

Hey guys everything has been going great but this week haa been terrrible. Seems like my dispatch is playing games and for no reason. I get my loads early and delivered on time. But still this week i getting slow to no responses. My supposed to be fm is not with the company no more and its just been ridiculous. They put me on loads only to pull them away after ive started my clock and then have me sitting waisting time. I want to give them at least 6 months to a year but with the way things are going its got me wanting to find a new job. Any suggestions?

Well guys im glad i didnt choose that small company or even western express. Today i found out that im getting a small sign on bonus with PTL! Glad i went with my gut...

Thanks susan i do but am signing on with PTL.

Chris, you reside in Akron, correct? Check out West Side Transport. If you've got 6 or more months of verifiable experience , they won't send you with a trainer and I believe we're currently offering a $6k sign on bonus. We have a terminal in Columbus, OH.

Well thanks guys for the great info. I watched a few videos and did see that under their circumstances they should be legally offering a w-2. Plus no benefits. I have a few other offers on the table and was going to go with western express but am now going to give PTL a try. Just in the next 6 months to a year i hope to find a company that will get me a little of everywhere. East coast, west coast, south, south east etc. But im glad i didnt bite the bullet.

So i talked to the salesman/ recruiter haha and it is a 1099. So the worst thing would be paying my own taxes? Plus the hassle of having to keep my own paperwork together?

Thanks guys im going to ask.

Was doing a job search and stumbled upon what seems to be a small company. The trucks in there ad dont even have a name on the door. They wanted a years experience but i only have a little over 6 months. Anyways i called them up and they are willing to give me a shot but just want me to take a drug test and short driving test first after they recieve the results of the drug test. They offer 56 cpm which is hard to believe (like whats the catch). But if they are as small as they appear i worry. I guess i keep my trailer at all times as well. I wonder what problems might occur working with such a company...poor maintenance? Hard to get road side? Easier to be swindled by the company? The equipment pictured is newer and i was told they have newer equipment. It feels like a chance i dont want to pass up even with my worries. The companies name is bond transport ir transit. Any advice?
