southern cal transport / eagle

**jbrown** · 11.12.2007

i'm new here and i was wanting to know about southern ca transport. i haven't drove in three years and i have got nine months exp otr. but every trucking company i have called wants a 120 hour refreasher course or 6 month otr but southern cal said they will put me with a trainer for two to four weeks and then go solo. does anybody know any good or bad things about them?

they don't have a solo side any more they only have team's now and they are not that good to work for if you get hurt like my husband did they tolled him after he got back that ether he quit or they would fire both of us so he did quit.

THEY TELL EVERYONE THEY HAVE SOLO! They dont. When I left the company Jan 10 I'd been there since Feb 09. I came in with a partner who left and since then had been through 10 maybe different ones. One of my partners decided to quit while I was on home-time and I sat at home for almost twomonths! My last partner failed her drug test while I was on home-time, and I refused to drive with a man, so I was ordered to clean out my truck and turn it in and then go home (all the way back to IL) to wait on a female codriver.

I have heard many many stories of recruiters telling drivers that they will come in to drive solo and it is a lie!

Thats what you get for being a female chauvinist ,
Try a dude for a partner
you might learn to like it.

i see day cabs southern cal run up and down highway 157 in north alabama with covered wagons running solo but they said they only hire teams

Thats a dedicated run from N.Ala. They also have solo runs out of Birmingham that runs intermodal containers. I dont work for them but a friend did. He liked it and said it pays $19hr. He told me he would still be working there if the teamsters hadnt called him.
