    They're a great training company for a real job!

    No, not really. But my outfit hires a lot of former WE drivers who now have the experience our insurance requires, and trains them on how to actually drive and flatbed. So we generally consider them our own personal training outfit. Let them takes the risks of newbie drivers while we reap the benefits, ha ha...
