They have both,After my first interview I went across the street to look at the trucks. They have class A and B trucks. Some tractors but a yard full of box trucks Class A & B. The will hire newbies for both. I havent heard back from them yet and still considering them but WOW route 93 traffic.
If you have any more questions let me know.

Talking
SECOND INTERVIEW, with Triumvirate Environmental Tue. April 2nd # 11 am. I'll get to see daytime traffic this time. I'm hoping for mid $20's pay if I'm going to drive over 1hr for work,especially with the rising gas prices. At this time no one else has contacted me for class A work so I'll see what happens.
I also filled out application for EPR(environmental Products Recycling) in Taunton,Ma. He said he should be hiring in Mid april as he expects to get 2-3 more accounts.

BigDaddyJollyRob,

Good luck on your second interview. We have quite a few people here both driver and warehouse/tank farm workers that drive anywhere from an hour to an hour and a half to get to work in the morning. Their drive home takes a little longer. Drivers are paid in the mid $20 range as well. It is not only the money but the benefits that keep them here. I am not sure how expensive it is to live where you are but here in L.A. it can be quite high. Don't forget to factor those benefits in with your total income. I know gas prices are high. I drive a diesel P/U to work. I only drive 11 miles but the cost out here is $4.00 and up. I think you will do just fine.

Drive safe

Second Interview went great,will meet the operations Manager on third interview. They're a little concerned about the drive I'd have to make to get to work but my first interviewer and the second said the like me and the responses I gave to their questions plus, the plan on coming in to my state next year and having someone with experience already would workout very well. I'm talking things over with the MRS. Cost of gas,hour+ drive and they still wont commit on a pay range. What he stated to say just wont cut it. It needs to be in the $20's or not financially smart on my part.
Well I still have ABF in play and I'm trying to get on with the other union carriers. They aren't hiring just yet.

UPDATE ON TRUCKS
You will start of in the ten wheel box trucks then after gain some experience you can move to the vacum truck then after more experience(yrs later) you can get into tractor trailer pick ups and/or the monday to friday otr pickups. If you do an overnighter in the box truck You stay in a hotel. You pay and they reimburse you.
