I recently applied for a PT-Dockworker Job @UPS Freight...they seemed very interested...especially after I said I plan on working on getting my CDL. They said if I already had it and at least a year of experience...they would hire me on the spot...I haven't heard anything back yet though. Either way, I'm trying to come up w/a good plan B. Which mega carrier do you think (i.e. SWIFT, C.R. England, CRST, etc) would get me my CDL and give me the best shot at getting into UPS Freight in a year or so? Thanks!

I would think Millis or Prime heard good things about there training programs especially Prime seems more hands on and better training pay about 700 a week good luck with either path you choose.

Prime has highest training pay. 600 bucks a week for all 4 weeks before taxes. Crst makes u team drive wit u another newbie after training with trainer. Swift and Crengland has low pay after training. Good Luck !!!

Which company has the least B.S. and is easiest/fastest to get into their school?

All of them are gonna have some bs. You'll just have to see which bs you can put up with the best. But Idk which is the fastest I went through Central Refrigerated was trained and had my truck and first load in 7 weeks and 2 days but Swift owns them now. So I'm not sure if the program still works the same. My brother in law went through Swift and it took him forever. Best thing to is call and ask.

If you live in an area where UPSF is hiring, then there will be other LTL companies. When there is one LTL company, there will be others. It's highly probable you'll have ABF, Conway-Freight, and Old Dominion nearby, or other LTLs. Some of these companies also offer in-house training to get your CDL A, and will pay you for it. It really depends on location and whether their local terminals (local in regard to being near your location) are offering in-house training. Just an idea - you might not have to 'suffer' with a truckload carrier. Also, you might wind up working for another LTL company if they can get you your CDL A, unless you're hung up on UPSF. Not that there's anything 'wrong' with UPSF - they're probably the highest paying LTL carrier as of now. I work for ODFL and am very happy here. At my location they do have an in-house CDL A program, but that's not always the case, it depends on location.
