- In this video, I am going to briefly discuss Covenants Orientation along with training and student pay. I hope you enjoy it. Please consider liking & subscribing to support my channel. Thanks đ€đŸ
Nice video. You're making more money than probably 95% of people with the same experience level. Gotta be a real road warrior to team. I could see you owning a truck in a year or so. Good luck!
Thank you for taking the time to watch my video as well as leaving a comment. Team driving takes a lot of patience but if one is willing so Sacrifice for a short period of time. It allows you to earn great money and open up opportunities.
I start at the end of July canât wait! Iâm not really tripping on the pay Iâm just trying to gain some experience so I can get a better job tbh. I always viewed this as a âstepping stoneâ company. And Iâm ready for itđ„
Itâs not a bad company, I always recommend getting your endorsements so that you donât leave any money on the table while your getting your experience. Good luck on your journey đ€đŸ.
@@RelentlessEnterprize I have doubles/triples & tanker. Iâm going to go for the hazmat in a few weeks . Iâm still in the practicing phase of that on the test app
Thank you for the information on teams OTR !! Especially about the Smoker ! I don't see why Covenant, doesn't have a non-smoking policy in there Truck's! I can imagine how that would stink up a small area like a truck đ, đ đ đ
I think they want to appeal to the masses since a-lot of Truckers smoke. I donât think itâs horrible, I donât smoke so I just prefer nonsmoker Co-driver. But if both Drivers smoke than its not really an issue at all.
Can you request a non smoking trainer or team mate?
You should show the paystubs of you driving for mileage pay
Thanks for this video broâŠI will be starting soon Iâm fresh out of school.
Glad to hear that you enjoyed it
â@@RelentlessEnterprizequestion,do they do hair follicle test at covenant
Great videođthx,,,, student payment is very low for a CDL holder, but it is what it is.
Hey, thanks for watching and I agree student pay is pretty crappy. I found that most companies student pay itâs not the best these companies try to find ways to pass less.
What type of tests you do for the backing portion is the just both the L and Straight back only or they add those 2 with switching lanes?
Alley dock & road test is the only things that we did. Itâs actually pretty easy. I donât know of anybody that failed their onboarding test
Thanks for sharing, next pay video should be coming soon
Iâll do a video focused just on that. Thanks for watching and I appreciate your comment.
GREAT INFO THANKS LOOKING TO START SOON...Also how did you get your video monetized so fast
Thanks for checking out the video as well as leaving a comment. I am not really sure that I understand the question. Simply because I am not monetize. That would be awesome if I was.
Can u do a video on the process of getting hazmat Iâve study for it but donât know the process
Yes, Iâm working on that. Should be up and running soon.
Thank you for such a informative video. Coming to covenant with no experience. Do they make you take a backing test during the 3 day orientation or do you complete a backing test after training?
Hi Radajia, thanks for taking the time to watch the video. During orientation we only completed a road test. Once you complete training than you will be doing another road test and backing test.
Did u start with yet
For those who had to wait for their trainerâŠdid they have to go back home or did covenant let them house in their facility while they waited.. Iâm tryna figure out if I should end my lease before my training or keep it to have somethn to come back to during delays like the one u mentioned
Orientation apr 17 and will also do videos like yours
James, they have Rooms that you will be able to stay and while you are waiting for your trainer. If not they will get you a hotel in the area. Good luck with your training. Let me know if you have any other questions.
@@jamesc4861 do you have a channel. Thanks
They told me when I get there that I can take my hazmat test I already got my tanker endorsement CANT wait Sunday
I have one question, I recently Graduated from CDL school Oct but Iâm under 21 right, itâs so hard to find a job locally, so I canât find job, I have one of my cousin been at Covenant wanting me to team up with him in May because thatâs when Iâll be 21, if I let my CDL stay for that long, would they still take me there or should I worry more about getting experience
Iâd recommend get the experience elsewhere while you wait until May, it will help you continue to sharpen your skills plus you wouldnât have to go out for the 4 weeks of Training with a trainer you can just go with your cousin once you complete Orientation. At the end of the day your personal situation dictates.
@@RelentlessEnterprize thank you! đđŸ
If not on Estes or wildcat accounts do they still give u the miles
Iâm actually gonna be doing a video soon with one of my friends that I met through orientation heâs on the normal account the last I spoke to him he told me that itâs kind of on and off for the most part they were getting good miles over 5000 a week. I hope that answers your question.
Yes it did thanks.Iâm just noticing a lot of negative videos about covenant
Why was your net pay going down
I wonder how they match students together.
Very informative video do you know if there's an age limit
There is No age limit that I am aware of. Great question
Why did they take so much, and I thgt it was a set pay while training I didnât know they tax ya on it
Great question, I believe they have no control over the Taxes since thatâs an IRS thing. But the amount thatâs taken out depends entirely on your individual tax rate and your state requirements.
Do you have to do backing in orientation?
Yes
I stayed 30 days in 2019. Teamed me with a guy from Arizona, I'm from Virginia. Ask me how the hometime went.
Yeah, that would have been a nightmare đ
@@RelentlessEnterprize Too make it worse put us in Pomona California terminal running Fedex to Texas, he got to stop in Arizona to go home once a week.
That's why I'm glad they offer solo jobs in va
Will they help u get your hazmat ?
Yes, they have all the training materials available to you and they encourage you heavily on getting your Hazmat. I also recommend getting your Hazmat & Doubles endorsement.
The road test in Chattanooga is hard?
No, it is actually pretty easy.
If not on an account will u still get miles
To my knowledge yes, Because majority of Covenants loads are none Estes loads. I personally just believe if you want to maximize your earnings potential with Covenant, you should be on Estes pulling doubles.
So the recruiter lied about the 0.75 for starting military pay
I cannot confirm or deny what the recruiter said because I donât know what kind of conversation that you two had but what I do know is that if you are a veteran specially one with military truck driving experience at Covenant, you should be at $.80 per mile.
Wait. Did I read 2215 miles for 871
Do they pay for all miles?
Mileage is split, Cents per mile is not split. 6,000 miles would be 3K miles each driver, times your cents per mile.
So you said they reimbursed you? Does that mean you have to pay out of pocket first?
Yeah, any company with a reimbursement program is like that. Only way to not go that route is a company that has an in house cdl school
@Monkmoto1887 100% correct, thats for sharing that.
If my Hometown is in Nevada, Utah or Michigan !?!
My hometown is Phoenix, AZ. It doesnât matter to Covenant where you live. But it is important to find a Co-Driver that is also from your state, it makes Coordinating hometown super easy.
@@RelentlessEnterprize Appreciate it !!đ
So how do you get your endorsements
Iâll probably do a video on this topic. But to answer your question. I recommend searching on CZcams Hazmat/ Tankers/ Doubles and Triples Endorsements test preparation videos. They do a great job at covering the topics. After that just set up an appointment with your local Motor Vehicle Division. I believe Hazmat requires background check. But double check me on that. Good luck.
Are u still with them
Work for covenant now on dollar general account big mistake
Sorry to hear that, I have never heard of any Dollar General accounts being good with any carrier. In my opinion, the best deck of an office is either Estes account or ATT account.
What kind of drug test urine or hair test?
Urine test
Now they do a hair test
@@RedRedred-ld4pb how did you find out?
@@RelentlessEnterprizeso you did your dot physical during orientation not before you went?
@@gamerjanay it was a pre-employment urine test. I already completed my DOT test prior to coming to Covenant.
Where is orientation at?
Chattanooga, TN
Urine drug test?
Yes
I should be going into covenant soon, please put out more content about pay stubs and proof that your making this.
This encourages me and my to take this sacrifice for the fam.
Are you wearing flip flops??
I believe I was.
Covenant is complete bullshit; when I trained with them they made me work 70hrs a week and paid me $700, so only $10hr! And it doesnât get much better when you finish training. They said they would pay for a rental car and never did and Iâve had class action settlements against them because they fuck over their drivers
They donât watch you pee idk why you being weird telling people that they do
Again, I can only speak for my personal experience. I definitely had the urinalysis observer 2 feet away from me ensuring I follow their protocol.
If that doesnât constitute being watched than our definitions are night and day different.
At the same time, it is fair to say that your experience was different from mine, but when I am answering someoneâs question, I can only give honest answers from my experience. I donât gain or lose anything from sharing how Covenant conducts their drug test based on my experience.
I hear flip flops. Real truckers DONT WEAR FLIP FLOPS !
Fair enough Tony, however, Iâm not claiming to be a trucker. Iâm also a team driver and I was just done with my shift so I decided to relax.
I do đđđ
