So my brother got his CDL a year ago and because of an accident a couple years ago and his lack of experience he is expensive to insure. Due to this, he got a long hall job with a company that hire anyone, pays like shit, theres always a problem and being paid by the mile, any delay is costing him money. They never give him his hometime. They promised to get him home for thanksgiving and my sons first birthday party and never did. They didnt even get him home when his fiance was in the hospital miscarrying his daughter at 20 weeks. They asked if she was “critical.” Just horrible people to work for.
So he toughed it out for the year and he just got a job offer for way more money, guarantied 3 days home time every other week. Massive sign on bonus, etc.
So he gives his company his 2 week notice and his driver manager says, “please let us know what we can do
to make you stay.”
My brother says, “ok I was an x per mile
raise and guaranteed home time every other weekend.”
These people really said, “ I can see about the raise, and I can offer home time EVERY 3 WEEKS.”
My brothers just humoring them while he waits for his start date. No word on the raise yet. What complete morons. Why even ask? He’s dropping the truck off at their headquarters in nashville this weekend and never bothered to tell them he was still accepting another job.
