What's new

Yellow | union carriers hiring school grads?

We just hire ten men at 120, but haven't heard of the particulars as of yet. Not sure what their experience is, but I think we still hire with the old standards of 2 yrs experience.
 
no mikeeeee i have not.i would think that even if you had a so-so work record,or even a record of being fired or something like that, a clean driving,safety record in todays world where you have all the meth heads and drunks your driving record still should out weight it all!
 
I just checked the online qualifications for linehaul and it's one year experience now instead of two year.

If that is true I feel sorry for that kid when he tried to retire with 25 years in @ an early age. The pay out for insurance will will cause him to work till 30 and with the Social Security pushing the age up more & more he'll still be too young.

All I have to say is "invest early young people, invest early" cause you'll gonna need it.

We just had one of our rookies lay a set over going downhill @ 75mph(what he told the cops) did a 180 and slid backwards across the median into the on coming lane for a total of 315ft...hes ok! trk and trls were a loss. used to be a tandem axel dump driver..The pictures are currently on display in the cincy drivers room..
 
that might be a small step that will teach them.yea go ahead and hire a whole bunch of them (rookies).let a good man sit on the sides and watch a bunch a dumb butts total the whole fleet. might just serve them right!!
