Well I've officially accepted training and a potential position for WSE. I decided I'd start this thread in hopes of keeping people who may be considering joining up with the company informed about how things go for me. I leave out for training on 20JUN08. They are paying for the bus ride from OKC to Boise. I'm staying at the Inn America in Boise in my own room, so that a plus. http://www.innamerica.com/ . Here's an excerpt from an email from my recruiter concerning training.

In my dealing with other recruiter from other companies, she has been the most professional and honest, most of what she told me I can verify on this forum and a few others.

My training pay is will be weekly, though I'm not sure whether or not I can list the amount so for now I'll just say I'm very satisfied with their weekly training pay.

I'll be posting more once I get up there and get started.

Wish me luck!!

I'm an old man, I hope so, but I've been writing my date like that for soooo friggin long..lol.

So I've seen some of the trucks, most volvos atm, but was told they're replacing most everything with the new Mack Pinnacle, I heard volvos ride like a dream. I doubt I'll get a brand new one at first, so 'm looking forward to a volvo. Which is better or worse?
