Disrupted industry, reducing expenses to compete

It's nice not having constant supervision while you work. Being your own boss, while you are driving & out on the road. Can take breaks when needed. The potential to make great pay, although I was never able to make great money on a regular basis; just occasionally, when there was a special event going on.

Lack of respect from management...and from "the yard" area also. One man, especially, had it out for me from the start…& was allowed to harrass me. I feel I was targeted. A combination of being new, & just out of a dislike for me. I never gave anyone a reason to not like me. Lack if proper training. Two days is not enough time in training. It is no wonder, so many drivers do not make it as a driver. I found it impossible to make (clear) good money. Occasionally, I would have a good day, but most of the time I struggled to even pay for my lease. Favoritism was clearly seen. Near the end, I was given lemons to drive. Cars with many problems, especially relating to safety issues. I know I could have made it, as a successful driver…but was not given the adaquate time to become successful. Clearly, not enough attention is given to new drivers to succeed. Hence, they have a high rate of turnover. Dishonesty is definitely a problem here. Very disappointed.
