[QUOTE="ok2bclever, post: 57280"] Danny and I apparently are going to have to agree to disagree on this subject as to me the point is if you don't make it the rest is mute. We base our opinions on our personal experiences and I believe that is the differing point between us here. Danny obviously lives in an area where the management is kinder and gentler regarding qualification. [img]http://browncafe.com/discus2/clipart/biggrin.gif[/img] It is a wide country and the strictness of the level of performance required to qualify naturally varies with the personalities of the management team that is judging you. In my area we have had four drivers fail qualification strictly on performance issues in the last two years (two long overdue, great hiring years by the way). The key here is only one failure was an part-time, inside upgrade. Two two years ago and one this year were the single outside hire the company had for each of those years. Perhaps it's just been coincidence or perhaps the outside hires have been lousier drivers, but it is my personal opinion that at least local management is holding them to a higher standard as they can "dump" the outside hire without any significant consequences to themselves. Failing an inside upgrade gets you a part-timer with a very negative attitude [img]http://browncafe.com/discus2/clipart/biggrin.gif[/img] who can try again the next year. If he/she is incompetent enough they will fail regardless, but if they are on the bubble. . . PS - Danny is right regarding the "bubble" as I don't know a driver that didn't seem to be on the "bubble" according to management during their qualification period. Several of the upgrades this year were supposedly "not going to make the bubble", but they all did (but again, they were the upgrades). Good luck. [/QUOTE]
