@@LetshitTheRoadJb yes, they pay orientation.

It is hard to find a co driver, but it depends on your location if residency and luck of the draw for your potential co driver to be respectful etc..I will guide you through your steps as you go through the process, if you like, I'm glad you found my channel as well, it's been hard for me to film for a while and I'm trying to get back into it. Welcome to Covenant.

@CVENObsessed Yes, I would like that very much, and thank you!! :)

@@MrsGreen173 of course, anytime love.

One person's junk maybe another person's treasure.. It's not a one size fits all, I'm sorry you had a horrible time with them, but I have definitely been blessed being with them. I'm glad you found something that suits you and makes you happy. Stay safe driver.

That was a hypothetical for the 6 weeks out 3 days off, said driver is able to take 7 days at a time. If they choose less days off it keeps the other days they gained in the eto bank.

What do you mean what's up with it?? Sorry for late response, I've been unplugged for a bit, I mean Estes is one of our highest paying accounts, miles are there last I heard, but ain't drivers are saying they are sitting for a while, but I'm sure it's because they are waiting for Estes to connect their sets and stuff, but with the experience you both have you won't have that problem, so it wouldn't effect you guys at all.

We don't break down the sets or hook them together.

@CVENObsessed Driver is required to do pre trip..therefore whether they break or hook a set it takes 15 seconds to rehook the chains properly

@@DG38594 this is a pre trip video I crossed the safety chains for added security, when we drop the trailer a post trip is done, but we don't unhook the chains we drop it as it is when we delivered. All covenant drivers Cross the safety chains, Estes drivers don't it's not a requirement.

@CVENObsessed Crossing and underhooking are not the same lol Doesn't matter what Estes does or doesn't do, DOT will only care what you do.

@@DG38594 my apologies you were saying underhook geez you would think I rode the special bus 🤣😂 my brain kept reading unhook 🙄🙄 ok thanks for telling me the correct way. Sorry for the back forth.

Hello, last I heard we weren't, but I'll have a definite answer for you Monday!! Do you have your CDL already or you are in school??

@@CVENObsessed Already have my CDL, had an accident almost 2 years ago, although I heard Covenant will bring you on after a year with an accident. So y'all are really my only shot at getting back on the road right now, but yes thank you in advance!!!!

@@KH-vi3tu got cha ok yea you could've came after a year, but I get it. You also have to have a partner already to join us. Let's find out first about hiring out of Cali then we can worry about a co driver.

@@CVENObsessed Oh so Covenant won't help find you a CO driver anymore??? Dang....

@@KH-vi3tu yea, I've been having issues with the teaming department they don't want me interfering because he thinks I'm after his job 🙄🙄 so unfortunately you guys suffer through the difficulty of finding a co driver and going through his crap process of team meetings at the home terminal in Chatt. I did get that answer for you and I was correct we still aren't hiring out of Cali, they have too much red tape and politics for Covenants liking so they just backed out of Cali that's part of why they sold Pomona terminal. I'm gonna be real with you, if you really feel we are the only option for you I would ask a friend or family member to use their address out of state just for your CDL, and find a co driver to come here, but it depends on if you want to go through all that?? I can try to assist you and find a different company if you'd rather that??

No, but I can get one for you tomorrow if you still need it.

@@CVENObsessed definitely

@@toddc.bakerjr5826 ok

@@toddc.bakerjr5826 I didn't forget about you. They have changed teaming coordinator so I'm waiting for a response from that person for the email.

@@toddc.bakerjr5826 there's someone in the teaming department that's fighting me right now, so I took it to the top office and I'm on my way into Chatt I'll know something by this week.

Any where between 600-670

Team trucks should be run at least 70-72

My son and I supposed to be starting on the 4th

@@taureandixon7107 our trucks are governed 64 pedal and 68 Cruise the only way to run 70-72 is if it's perfect weather every day and no traffic plus switching drivers 30 min dot breaks.. There are drivers that hit in the 700, but it's a small few the average is 600-670. The way you run your truck will determine what miles you get, not everyone's miles will be the same, so you may very well run 70-72 with your son stay safe driver.

@@taureandixon7107 welcome aboard hope you guys like it, it takes a min to get settled into everything but once you guys do it should be fine.

Governed 64 pedal or 68 Cruise control we all run our trucks cruise control to run max speed allowed

Both actually because you come in a a true team with a partner already so once orientation is done you both get assigned to a trainer and the 3 of you go out on the truck or if you are a student coming straight from school and doing orientation solo then once your orientation is done you might be assigned a trainer that also has another student assigned to him which is 3 of you in a truck or if you get assigned a solo trainer then it will be just you and the trainer

@@CVENObsessed thanks... Will be there next month... Hope I end up with a good co driver

All urine

good to kno thanks a lot for the reply@@CVENObsessed

I do have a partner.. I wish you luck to find yours

Of course any time!!

I'm a bit confused have your cousin contact me on the drivers for Covenant page on FB so I can talk with you both verbally have them create an anonymous post that says RUclips and I'll message them.

@@CVENObsessed I don’t use Facebook and I don’t think he does as well! Wat I was trying to say is, he wants me to join him once I’m 21 in May 2024, I was wondering if that is a problem to wait without experience because I’ve been having my CDL since Oct 2023, here in Florida Jax can’t find local job without experience! He wants me to join him at convenant bc of my long hours driving skill and passion for truck driving!

@@CVENObsessed I don’t know if you can find him but he’s Michael!

@@XOManny-o6g they will look at all verifiable experience..so if you wait 5 months it's not going to effect you because you have to have verifiable experience with in the last 3 years which you will have so you will be fine..now if you haven't operated a truck in the last 3 years they will start you from the very beginning and send you out with a trainer.

@@CVENObsessed alright thank you, that make sense, because I wasn’t, my last time in a truck was when I went to take my skill test N that was OCT 6 2023! Thank you for your answers

Covenant may not be the company for you.

Yes, you will drug test during orientation.

Not with Covenant you can't Landair is solo, but you have to drive for 90 days with Covenant to make the switch. Covenant is a teaming company.

My sincerest apologies for responding so late, the devil is really working in my life right now, but the answer to your question is yes, you and your teammate will stay together for the whole process from day 1, you will also room together in the dorms.

Yes, you do. My apologies for the late response.

Yes, it's work of course, but driving in general can be exhausting so getting a full 11-12 hr rest is better for you than getting 8-9 hrs.

Depends on where you are coming from, but if you want the freedom to come and go as you please, I would say to drive your personal vehicle, get paid for the milage and fuel you spend to get to orientation, and the bonus is you'll have your car to go where ever you want when you're at the terminal free and clear, if you fly Covenant will cover it, but that's it and when you're at the terminal you have to wait on the shuttle it gets crowded sometimes you have to wait longer just to get a ride back etc. I would take my personal vehicle if it were me in your place.

@@CVENObsessed okay that’s what I was thinking. I hear we may have to wait for trainers and trucks and I would hate to be cooped up. Lastly, my husband has a 1.5 years of LOCAL experience. No OTR. I have no A Class experience only B… but we are going to be team drivers. I want him to come to orientation with me and be my co-driver during my training hours? Can I finesse that? My recruiter says I have to come for 30 days then he comes and does orientation but I don’t want to be away from him and when my 30 days are up I wouldn’t want to be with someone else until he finishes. I see husband and wife go together on RUclips but I’m confused on why my recruiter would want us to split for a month???

@@chelsssthaboss that is very strange, but if they are giving him the 1.5 yrs experience then that's why they are splitting you up is because he won't need to be trained, so there's no sense of him going on the trainer's truck with you and they won't want him to interfere with the trainer teaching you because your husband might want to teach you a different way, so I will try my best to get them to reverse it and have your husband go first and then train you, but I'm not sure if they are going to go for it, but I'll talk with my people and see what they are willing to do. When are you set for orientation??

@@CVENObsessed I don’t have a set date. He told me to call him as soon as I pass my test. I take my test Oct 2. I was hoping to go the 9th or the 16th. Would he have to be gone for 30 days?

@@chelsssthaboss no orientation is only a week, they were doing both orientations, but they might have changed it once they went to only hiring true teams, so what I'm going to propose that they do and I can't make any promises, but I will try my hardest to get them to bring your husband in first to do orientation, then he can get assigned a truck once you do orientation you can get on the truck with your husband for him to train you himself as you guys run loads so basically your husband will be your trainer. I will push for this as hard as I can and they used to do it this way, I will find out why yours is different, the only thing I can think of is because your husband is experienced and you are not. So, I will definitely see what I can do. Just pray on it that it goes through.

Also are they good at paying their employees for all of their mileage? I hear they never pay what they promise

Each driver may have a different pay so you split the milage, for example if you make .74cpm and your co driver makes .54cpm you would make more on your pay check based of the milage the truck drove, so 2500 mi multiplied by your .74 and same for your co driver at their cpm.

@@chelsssthaboss they pay zip code to zip code, yes, Covenant pays you, does payroll make mistakes absolutely and especially when you are first starting out, but it can and all will be fixed with some communication and once you have been settled in and rolling etc the pay will be accurate, based off what the truck miles run at your cpm rate.

@@CVENObsessed okay. Thanks so much for responding. I test on Oct 2, then I should be heading that way for orientation!

@@chelsssthaboss of course, I always try to respond to everyone, and you're welcome, ok Oct 2nd I'll see if they can get your husband in first and then when your orientation is over if he can train you, but it might take some back n forth before I get a definitive answer.

Yes, it's definitely a struggle and hard sacrifice, those are awesome ages, but super hard to be away from as well.

@@CVENObsessed yes it is I miss my girls so much every day. And my wife has nobody to help her with them. I’m sorry that your old co-driver screwed you over when you was gone having the baby. So what’s your route that they have you on? Are’s is Colton California to New Albany, Mississippi, then to Memphis, Tennessee Then to West Sacramento,ca

@@anthonyb8331 I run OTR again not on a dedicated for right now, but it's ok because the loaded miles are good so no room for complaints except being away.

Thanks I'm glad to be back well part of me is anyway lol and yes, our own thoughts can be a killer

It is teams about 90% we do have solo on the Covenant side, but those lanes are mostly east coast lanes and the pay is way less, if you go to landair, Lew Thompson and son, you'll have a greater chance at solo with a bit higher pay, but you have to be on the Covenant side for a certain time frame before you can get on those lanes/companies. AAT you will need to be teamed, high security military clearance it's a way higher pay.

I surely will let you know.. I do know that in the last few weeks there were a couple of guys looking, but not sure if they found someone or not. I'll definitely look out though. Best way to get a hold of me is Cvenobsessed Transport on FB.

There are a few drivers right now looking for co drivers not far from AR. Are you part of the drivers for Covenant page?? Also after being with the company for a while they have dedicated with our poultry company based out of AR and MO.

Where you from i just got my cdl in training looking for a codriver

Yes, they have orientation either every week or every 2 weeks. Once you speak to a recruiter they will give you your orientation date. The recruiter that goes to the school is a field recruiter not your actual recruiter, someone from the chatt office in recruiting department will reach out to you either by phone or email and that will be your recruiter for the company.

@@CVENObsessed ok cool..yes I have already received emails from a recruiter with covenant named Teresa Miller...not sure if u know who that is...I got a pre hire letter from her...but I'm going to give her a call as soon as I get my cdl to see where things go from there

@@lamontthurman9227 I don't know her personally, but I've heard of her and yes, give her a call she'll explain everything to you, try to find a co driver you are comfortable with at school that possibly lives around the area you live coming to contact the process will be much faster.

Yes, just wait to apply, but they will still ask you during the application process if you have had any accidents/incidents, or citations just don't lie on the app or to the recruiter and let them tell you what the process is to get back in also have the dmv printout and a police report if one was taken so you can submit it if need be.

@CVENObsessed Is it still a urine test only?? Thank you for all of your info by the way.

@@KH-vi3tu of course you're very welcome and yes, to my knowledge it's still urine, DOT hasn't enforced the hair follicle test requirement.

Yea their system is not very effective so I try to help as best as I can without stepping on egos and arrogant feet lol

Yea it's definitely hard to find someone to mesh well with, you both have to have the consideration to be fair and make money, that's why I try to help as much as I can to keep drivers together and on the same page.

Are you a student coming straight from school no experience??

@@CVENObsessed Yes but there giving me 6 months experience because of my military service

@@toppedigreetransports yea that's fine if you are going out with a trainer fresh out of school then you don't need to have a partner to come for orientation, always follow what Covenant is telling you, I only assist when you have issues that maybe I can assist with.

You need a partner to come for orientation. I’m straight out of CDL school

Hazmat is key to not only getting loads, but also not being restricted to certain loads, plus both of your pay will be higher and you'll be eligible for the guarantee pay, if miles are still low. Hazmat is first and most important endorsement to have, the others are just bonus, but helps to have so you can take any and every load they toss at you guys.

I understand, doing what you need to do, that's one downside to being dedicated, but the industry in recent years has become very fickle.. I wish you guys the best and hope you guys succeed in your new endeavors.

I love Covenant, it's not really much to it, I came in and did what was asked of me kinda went with the flow and kept a great driving record except for a few mishaps and everything has been great for me I'll be going on year 5 this August.

Is the pay good I'm bringing a team mate I have 1 yr experience and he has 7 month I really just hope the pay is legit

@@feltonbrooks768 yes, pay is legit you will be on 2 different pay for cpm, but in 5 months he will make the same as you will.. endorsements matter, so the most important is hazmat, always keep track of your miles, as a whole meaning if the truck ran 5500 miles for that week, keep track of that so you guys have proof of what you ran, mistakes happen and you always want to have back up, payroll can mix things up and in the beginning sometimes our checks don't always reflect what we run, BUT it's fixable, and it's only in the beginning. Everything irons out when you guys are set in the system, be careful about taking out advances because you will get small checks, also depending on your deductions for insurance and benefits will also change the look of your pay.

Most definitely, it is the worst and most dangerous pot hole city out here, it's like playing hopscotch between lanes just to avoid the big ones, heading west is not as bad as heading east, but yes it definitely could use some attention.

Team 11 🎉❤🎉❤

Awesome get those miles!!

I don't train as of right now I'm hoping it will go that way, but I'm at the last end of my pregnancy so we'll see and thanks so much.

My name is Kay.

Welcome soon, and congrats on the sponsorship.. Nothing much has been going on just trying to finish this pregnancy lol

There are things we love about it and things we hate about it just like the QC lol pros and cons to everything in life. I haven't even given a video on this one yet, I was just showing what it looked like, I'll eventually show its functionality later once I get familiar. Most other companies use people net, and I know drivers from other companies that hate that one lol 😆 😂

Vaping is fine, as long as your co driver isn't going to have an issue with it. Also just be courteous to your co driver have the window down while you're driving etc. You should be good.

@CVENObsessed2018 yes ma'am that is my intentions always. I am so looking forward to starting and I feel that being with a team member is a asset for learning the industry. That way you can learn from one another about safety and also how to co-exist for making real money. Lol

Absolutely and congratulations on kicking the habit :)

Exactly..that's the whole point of being a team lol

In cruise 68 using the pedal is 64

Thanks wife and I should start orientation Wednesday

Do they have inward facing cameras

@grucker1122 no we do not

How does the training process go?do they give u the miles after training
