I went through an orientation with these morons in June 2005. This has got to be THE worst OTR carrier in the business. They spent more time in orientation bringing in outside vendors to peddle cell phones & fruit smoothies than they discussed routing & fueling policies. A dispatcher, or driver mgr., or whatever they call themselves over there went to great lengths to tell us how he was a friend and ally of the drivers, and that they were always his first priority. Then he went on to boast about how he used the qualcomm to locate and subsequently terminate a driver who was taking his mandatory 10 hr. break in a reservation casino parking lot in N.M. According to him, casino parking lots are sinful, immoral, dangerous places to be avoided at all costs. He flat out refused to answer any questions after he'd given his speech, claiming he had other things to do. The staff was beyond condescending. These people made it obvious that they did not really care about the impression they left with anyone. God forbid you had a question for any of them, because they went out of their way to chastise you for asking it. The food was terrible. The motel rooms were filthy. The trucks were, for all intents & purposes, used up. The truly sad part about it all was that most of the people with me in orientation were students who had no real knowledge or experience in the business and didn't know what they were getting into. As for me, Covenant Transport told me to leave at the end of the four day orientation due to the fact that I couldn't provide them with ten years employment history. I can't thank them enough.
