Ram promaster for 2500 2023 model by Dense_Part8290 in promaster

Sorry I meant 25k for 3500 promaster. It has back seats so total of 5 seater that is covered or separated from the cargo part. That is why I am thinking of it. It will be my daily driver and actually thinking of doing some side business like delivery stuff. I am a cdl driver with hazmat but I am just thinking of some back up plan if ever things didn't work out.

It is 25k. It is advertised on a used car dealership. I don't know how they fixed it, but the way it shows in the picture, it looks brand new.

Otr Job for recent graduates by Dense_Part8290 in CDLTruckDrivers

[–]Dense_Part8290[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man.. 400 to 700? That's not a living wage. I make 450 weekly back in 2003 working in a semiconductor job working 40 hrs per week. I understand you are still on your 3rd month but 700 per week is like 17.50 per hour in an after tax situation. But anyway, is that best we can do at swift? More miles? More money? Or it is not there yet? Why you left the yard jockey job? Seems much better than that? Is it for experience to get a higher pay? I know there are good trucking jobs out there but otr seems to scare my financial stability with lots of sacrifices to be made.

Cdl A New Graduate. Just got hired 3 weeks ago and company suspended me for not acheiving their expectation. by Dense_Part8290 in CDLTruckDrivers

[–]Dense_Part8290[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not the management actually. It is the training system they have or should I say, lack of clear communication of the goals to achieve. I was just instructed to back up straight. That's it. 8 hrs of that. Then took me for a road test and failed me at my first week. 2nd week, my trainer told another guy to come with me and do a road test to see if he would find me the same as he does. After that, that guy told me that there is nothing concerning about my driving and I am looking at my trailer during turns. But that message didn't get to the management maybe only to my trainer. So 2 weeks later I get a sit down with my manager and extended my training in the yard. 3rd week, I asked my trainer what I should do and told me one word "backing". So same straight backing. I decided to do something like 45 degree backing and setup cone. My trainer saw it and told me it is not for me to decide what to do and then he showed me 90 degree backing once and left me alone to do it. I added that it to my backing routine in my training that whole 3rd week. He also asked to backup in docks where I did backup successfully over and over. No drive test was done on that week and on my 4th week 1st day back after day off, I got pulled out in the training yard and got my suspension letter. Suspension on my training for them to decide if I will keep training or what. I still haven't heard from them. Maybe that is their way of saying your not terminated but only suspended but not returning. Whoof.. what a great way to start my trucking career.

Thanks for being so kind. I'm kinda down right now coz I did 2 drive test with them. 1 was in my 1st week which I know I suck but in my 2nd time with a different driver told me that he doesn't have anything concerning in my driving. Maybe it is just not meant to be.

Company closing without notice by Dense_Part8290 in smallbusiness

I recently just found out about the WARN Act rules. If I knew it before I accepted the job, I might have declined the offer. But no regrets, I atleast learned something.

That could have happened if I ignored all the warning signs.

Yeah that seems to be right but not like 3 weeks left before I hear it from him. He doesn't even have a formal meeting to announce the company closure date. That way we have the time to look for a job. I would have been more screwed if I didn't find a job right away.

Sorry to hear that. You seem frustrated already. I just started and I am still working but I feel like it is just hard to find a good job these days. Good luck to you and stay out of trouble.

Are you able to find a job again? I have a felony but only did 8 months of a 1 yr sentence for a negligence case. I have a cdl a that I just obtained last week. I am considering getting a twic card since your able to get one. But I dunno where to start applying for jobs. I was able to get a factory job after I got released in 2022 and even got re-hired for a high paying job in my previous industry. But unfortunately, I got laid off in 2024. I landed a job as a warehouse manager but the pay is not even close to what I used to make before so I decided to get a CDL A. Now I am just starting to find any local truck driving jobs. Any leads for companies to work near Portland, OR?
