After a miscommunication between me and recruiting, I showed up for my new job expecting regional, and found it it wasn't available right now, but was then told that once I started, I could probably be on it within 3 months.
I was told to let the fleet manager know I was interested by the President of the company, but then found out that there was no longer even a waiting list for the region I wanted, that is was simply at capacity with no immediate plans to expand.
I decided to approach this with a good attitude and just run OTR for a while and see if something eventually opened up.
I made it about 1 week and realized that OTR simply wasn't for me at this point in my life.
After contacting my fleet manager again, and explaining that I really needed to be on the regional fleet, and my reasons why, I was put on the fleet within 24 hours. There was no need for complaining, no threatening to quit, no whining about a recruiter, no nothing. Just a simple conversation, followed by the Fleet Manager going to work on my issue, and a quick and positive resolution to the problem.
Gotta say, I was very impressed with this. It has been quite some time since I have worked for a large company, as a company driver, and from what I have seen so far with this company, I am impressed.
