    Hello my name is Jason I just got done with my coach. I am back here in Olathe to test out and now they are saying their are not hiring company drivers. Let me tell you I was told before I got here their was a position for me. Now they are sending all company drivers home. Are we still held responsible for expenses?

    Did you not think they would do that to you? It looks like you investigated TA here, heard the horror stories about sending company drivers home, and yet you still hired on?

    When you say they are sending you home, do you mean sending you home as in fired, or sending you home to wait forever for a company truck?

    True that TA is using high-pressure for L/O, however I know from an real good inside source, they have not had any company trucks available for sometime. They don't fire you, just send you home to wait until one becomes available. How long, is anyone's guess.

    Fortycalglock it was the only prehire I could get cause of my age. What other starter companies will hire at 21. All the ones I looked and talked to said 22 or 23 cause of insurance.
