Found Information

PTL called me today to tell me that I was hired

I dont know about going with them :bigg rin_25512:
There is no driving test during your 3 day orientation

I asked....Will I be with a trainer? No we team you up with another student for 30,000 miles. This seems worse than the dumb & dumber training through Stevens.

You do get 300.00 the first day of dispatch
They are the industry LEADER in there health insurance dont get it for 6 months though (heard this through multi resources)

You get .18 per mile all miles so the training pay seems better than most companies

You average 4000 miles a week all miles # .18 = 720.00

That 4000 +/- week would equate to about 8 weeks team ( seems like a long time )

My big thing is they allow pets

I went through the whole Stevens Transport thing for the same reason and after training & dumb & dumber guess what they dont tell u, u are still under a 90 day probation period before any pets or passengers are allowed SUCKS

Anyway anyone with any advice...you have to start somewhere and you cant be a job jumper HELP
