Whoever runs the mint should be fired for blindly following orders.

I went to the Diesel Truck Driving Training School in Sun Prairie, Wi. However, I didn't go there for the CDL, I went to get Heavy Equipment Training and I got the CDL as part of it. I ended up doing a modified 2 week program that they have for HE operators. While you are doing your HE...

There is a lot of extraneous and useless stuff that isn't removed from the internet. Leaving it here, won't break the internet or ruin the site. At this point, your only fanning the fire.

Would paying dispatchers a structured commission get them to be more cognizant of everyone's required markup? aka they make more money on more profitable loads and if there is a load that needs to be done to satisfy a customer, then if the driver is taking a hit, then the dispatcher also...

I agree with this. I sit and chuckle when I see posts, oh I'm too busy worrying about my business to try to help others. I see helping others as helping yourself in the process. I find I gain information and perspective when I offer an opinion. I might think one way but its good to see...

The real question is did he make $50 winning a bet in doing so

I think there is a shortage because its a hard job. Most people are use to being home everyday. Most people aren't use to being away from loved ones for 3 weeks at a time. Life as an expeditor is even harder imo. With July being one of my first months on the job, I had to learn how to deal...

Somestimes life waiting as an expeditor can be boring and you need to create something for your mind to do. Paul is one of my favorite posters on the site because I've actually met him, so throwing my hat into the fire even though I knew it was a useless convo provided me with something to...

I call BS! I don't believe that you actually would follow the advice you give here. I don't think you would stop conducting yourself in a respectful and / or professional manner because of a potential downside. Let me ask you, in the weeks and months leading up to your leaving FXCC, did you...

Paul, If Swift is your definition of the worst training company, them my goal is to become by your definition the worst OTR cargo van training company. You could only name 2 companies who were better. JB Hunt had to get out of that business side of it because they couldn't safely make a...

What exactly about JB's training program to you believe is superior than Swift's? Lets not confuse better compensation with better training.

Paullud, I think your basing too much of your current opinion on outdated facts. That may have been true 3 years ago but a lot of your spewingin this thread is as if it's currently happening still which is untrue imo. Swift isn't the worse anymore imo. What is far worse are these CDL schools...

Cheire, I think your holding Swift to a higher standard than you are every other carrier. I don't know of a single carrier that pulls all of their new to them drivers off the road and into a training program to make sure they can properly drive through icy mountainous roads. It's just not...

haha Jim sleeps witha Mister. You keep calling "him" your wife. lol just teasin ya bro

Sitting in a hotel in Hammond, La with Tropical Sorm Lee's tornado warning's interupting my Kardashian marathons. I got here yesterday @ 3 and they wouldn't unload me @ the Walmart distribution center because my appointment was in "scheduled" status and not confirmed. It was a carrier to...

It makes me wonder how dispatchers are paid at Panther. To me, it almost sounds like they get to keep a percentage of what they can claw back from drivers. I know if that was the case, I'd be shortchanging pennies all the time. I'm curious though, the different types of compensation types...

I agree and that was a sense that I got when you read between the lines. Yea he talked about expediting quite a bit but I think that was largely because he was being interviewed by an expediting magazine. His statements about the trucking industry as a whole and the opportunity for...
