If that's going to stop you from taking evidence, you handicap yourself. Law, is universal, like gravity. Legal Code authors like to pretend they write law, and confused people don't know the difference. Don't be confused.
I’m Justin Trudeau‘s cousin that lives in Cuba and I would like to apply for a trucking job in Canada. but I don’t speak French It sounds like I’m farting.
you know this is gonna be good before it even starts.... anybody remember the training to hire locked in contract bs... anybody still does that or is the new gimmick bonuses
I used to drive for TAK Trucking back in 2019 and they are a good company to drive for. They will keep you running and making that money 💰. As soon as you said you were calling a company from Elk Grove Village, IL I instantly knew you were talking about TAK Trucking lol
2 weeks out and only two days off ? What a horrible existence ! Why would anybody want to do this ? There are much better local and regional driving jobs that pay well.
Just comment what I’ve dealt with last 2 years. First company truck always broke down. They put me in a used one when they had new trucks coming in. I was in the shop more than I actually worked. Second and next company Recruiter lied to me. I have my own authority I’m not interested in listening to a lease purchase pitch. If I want a truck I’ll call a bank myself. They harassed me in orientation because I wasn’t paying attention to their lease purchase pitch when I was there for a company driver position. Gave a notice at end of year before Christmas. They cut me loose over Christmas. Next company “a Christian Family Oriented” weren’t very good Christian’s. 4th and last. Wife as witness I discussed with them governed speed, running regional, benefits, and 65 cents per mile which I was negotiable on. I got 43 cpm “ not what I agreed to”. OTR instead of regional. Yearly bonus of $1000 instead of $5000. Also was told in Orientation they pay a quarterly bonus for every mile driven. Lie. I live in Atlanta so I pay for parking. I’m not reimbursed for that or scale fees. Miles aren’t even over 2000 miles most weeks out. I wasn’t settling I was looking for a good fit for me. All lies still here since I have a kid going into college and my wife is sick. I’m looking for new job BTW
I totally agree unfortunately a lot of the companies that I’ve seen in United States that hire new drivers have this kind of schedule and I find it to be horrible. I also see jobs that say you can stay out as long as three months at a time. What I see is for every seven days that you are out is one day off with a lot of these companies. 😢
This is a great channel. I’m really enjoying the videos. This is quality content, and in my research I’ve seen so many things that are concerning with companies and their advertised driver positions. Thank you so much. This channel is a real blessing. !!❤😊
Not every company with a sign on bonus is bad. I got a $5000 sign on bonus 90 days after starting with my current company. It’s a local grocery store and I bumped docs for six or seven hours a day and I bring home six figures. The reason they are having trouble keeping drivers is a four year scale to top pay and pay up with performance pay not just hourly. People see $18 an hour and get off but I average over $45-$50 an hour on a really bad day. And I’ve only been here a year and a half so it’s just gonna get better. And a majority of their drivers are on the verge of or already retired so that’s their main reason for needing more drivers. We have drivers that have been here since the 70s. lol. And we are union so base pay is gonna be 40/hr in the next 2-3 years which means 70-80/hr after performance pay.
@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News Do truck drivers improve with age? (Earlier today, I had a flat nose driver running less than 10 feet behind my trailer. It seems 50mph down a hill and around a bend, fully loaded, is offensive to these people. Now there are some EXPERIENCED DRIVERS for you.)
I again agree with you. The best jobs I've had didnt have a sign on bonus. The bigger the bonus the worse the carrier. Anything over 3k i keep scrolling.
There are several companies with whom your information is now with, it may take some time for them to review each and every application but if you still encounter no responses after an extended period of time, feel free to contact us at sponsorship@ettransport.ca and we'll see how best we can assist you
I got a 5k sign on bonus going to Old dominion right after covid. Started at .685cpm, currently at .789cpm. Been a solid company so far. Currently a hiring freeze. A sign on bonus doesn’t have to be a bad thing for the right company.
Ronen, I wish you would have asked her about Mandatory Per-Diem and how long is orientation. I’ve walked out of so many orientations that had Mandatory Per-Diem, it used to be a choice. Orientations that’s more than 2 days Im not interested. Thanks from Bolingbrook Illinois.

"do i need to do my own pick ups and deliveries?"
RECRUITER: wtf?
Haha!
Maybe the law is different in Canada, but isn't it illegal to record a phone call without the consent of both parties?
If that's going to stop you from taking evidence, you handicap yourself.
Law, is universal, like gravity.

In Illinois, you must nefore recording. As libral, as Illinois, is it has 1 of the most restrictive phone call recording laws ..
@@thatsreality5184 No one is in illinois unless they are dead. Or a state of mind for the delusional. That's what public schools do to the brain.
That may depend entirely on where you are located

Love a positive review! You go TAK Trucking!
2 weeks out and only two days off ? What a horrible existence ! Why would anybody want to do this ? There are much better local and regional driving jobs that pay well.
Are they as easy to find? I find that a lot of jobs follow a similar structure, the ones who are home every week are deemed lucky
Guys, mid-2021 to mid-2022 I did 330 days STRAIGHT residing in the sleeper berth of a truck.
Just comment what I’ve dealt with last 2 years.

Is your company on the verge of bankruptcy? - question to ask
Haha, would any company answer honestly?
That's one question the Upper management / investors will keep quiet until the last minute.
@@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News a smart person would read between the lines
@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News
Do truck drivers improve with age?

Some will definitely improve with age
@@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News And countless others only get more cynical and self-centered with each passing year.

It's not a bad thing, I just always take it with a grain of salt

@@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News thank you!
I am going to go for my learners license soon after studying my class 1 book. This will be helpful!
You are most welcome!
This was back in November. They may not even be hiring anymore.
November?
@@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News from the date on that ad
I told you get out the U.S. market. You didn’t get something?
We're doing a-okay! We thank you for your concerns!

It doesn't have to be, but quite often it's a sign that should already have one wary

Solid post, here.
Why thank you!
No to salary
Oh?
Yup...
Bid: "oh you'll make $1400 week and extremely rare to work 60hrs, you'll mostly work 48-50...'
Reality: you'll work 66hrs a week...
You forgot to ask for escrow money taken from paycheck

Ask if they have driver facing cameras evrrytime
If they are online 24/7 your rights are infringed upon.
it only has 25 questions😔
We'll take a look into that
This recruiter sounds like Mia with power Logistics in Elk Grove Village, if it is then she is a liar! me and Five drivers flew out to work for them and was abandoned in the hotel and she blocked us!
This was TAK, not Power Logistics
👍
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video
Thanks!
