deciding between 2 companies

In a delima trying to decide which company to go with.
Between hiner and Covenant.
I know all the negatives about covenant. But still they are finally scheduling me for training with a trainer.
Covenant will finally be able to get me out training this week versus
Hiner next week.

I dont know anything about either, but if your gut instinct tells you Hiner, it will probably be worth the wait.

Yeah I have to side with Etosha. Covenant has apparently lost a lot of business recently, and therefore may not be the best place to go.

Now, seeing that you're in Auburn, and Hiner is based out of Huntingdon ( just east of the main drag through town) which ain't far away, I would seriously think about waiting that extra week. Getting home for weekends wouldn't be a big problem with them.

Just my two pennies, the decision is ultimately yours. Good luck!

Did you ever find anymore info on Hiner? I, too, am looking into Hiner. Free training and get paid while you train, plus home every weekend sounds good to me.

I just wondered if you ever found out about their equipment, typical runs, etc?

Thanks!

Decide on a company that you think you'll like 5 years from now. IOW don't decide on what you can't get right now look at the company that's fits your need for the long haul!
