[QUOTE="JL 0513, post: 1295272, member: 50088"] It's BS that you have been thrown around during your 30 day. Your development can't be accurately gauged under such conditions. No one can come close to scratching a route when you've only run it a few times. Especially business heavy ones (because it takes time to learn the in's and out's of each business). So you're never going to look like a competent driver if you aren't given a good 2 weeks on it to show progression. It is true though that you aren't guaranteed a full 30 days. If you still suck after 2 weeks and aren't showing any development, they can drop you at their discretion. But it should be on a single route. Sometimes it can be unfair too. And this is often based on how you were during your years as a PT'er. I've seen guys who were screwed over because they weren't professional as a PT'er. It could be something like a bad attendance record or even a level of immaturity. Some guys they want from the beginning, others they know they don't want. My center manager gave me an extra fighting chance because I unloaded trucks as a PT'er faster than he'd ever seen. Even though I struggled at first due to no driver experience at all and completely no area knowledge as it's an hour from where I live, he made sure I'd make it. On the other hand, I saw a guy dropped because he couldn't recite his next 5 stops whenever asked. I was never asked that. They create reasons to drop you if they think you won't be a good driver for the company. [/QUOTE]
