    We used to have a ton of truckin' job ad's in the paper on Tuesday's, but now we just have a few... System Transport, Star Transportation, Covenant, Stone Belt, Knight, US Express, and a company called Wood Trucking, Inc.

    Wood advertises job guarantee on completion of Free 3 wk CDL A training w/ one yr commitment. (3 wk training, & 50,000 miles student driver in 2nd seat)

    I think they are hooked up with MCT (Midwest Coast Transport)... and are out of Wauseon, OH

    Anyone ever heard anything about Wood Trucking? :smt017 (Any info about them, etc. or anything? :smt023)

    someone posted not long ago that the company use to be LCT( lestor coggins transportation). if so, its a gainey company, an they filed chpt 11 in nov. things here were ganey is are getting very intresting with the courts. I would do some hard looking into them and would never do a contract, worst way you can go. I would call them, ask for thier DOT number, and look them up on safestat, if not sure how to do it, just give it to me, i can, just takes a sec to do.

    Thanks Recon08,
    From their website I found out... => "Wood Trucking Inc. has been in business since 1977. Owners Wendell and Cora Wood, currently own and operate a fleet of 70 trucks."

    Evidently, they are an o/o affiliate for Midwest Coast Transport and run 1 of MCT's training operations or somethin like that.

    Yea, I hear ya there, I been lookin around for a looooooonnngg time at this stuff:biggrin_2554:
    Just saw the add in the paper and figured I ask and see....:biggrin_25525:

    not a problem. I started to go contract,found that the school was having us do things that were in violation of dot rules and laws, left, took tax refund and paid for schooling. glad I did, Im a better driver and professional one becuase of that.

    MCT has been around since 1951 or 1952 as a major refer carrier and has nothing to do with Lester Coggins or Gainy. Woods is a small fleet owner with MCT as they have no company trucks only 0/0s and small fleets

    Hello all, Wood Trucking in Wauseon, OH. does have their own trucks, but it would be a cold day in Hell before I would drive for them. I interviewed, orientated (unpaid) and road tested with them back in Sept. 09 and after seeing a few things I didn't like right from the get go, I backed out. Then it came to my attention that I had a report on my DAC and I quote, "Accident/Incident Record - Equipment was involved in an occurrence or act that produced unintended injury, death, property damage of any type, or resulted in the equipment requiring a tow (other than mechanical breakdown) while assigned to the driver regardless of fault. Adverse information is reported for 7 years". The ONLY time I drove their truck was for the road test, first day of UNPAID orientation and NOT ONE THING HAPPENED. I never would have made it to day 2 of UNPAID orientation or made it to Monday morning, my first scheduled day to drive, if something had. I know there are 2 sides to every story, this one is the ABSOLUTE and ONLY TRUTH and anything that would come from their mouths that doesn't match to the tee of what I just said is an ABSOLUTE LIE, FABRICATION AND FAIRY TALE. Good luck to anyone driving or about to drive for them.

    Mike

    I remember there was a Wood Trucking that had red Internationals pulling flatbeds a few years back. I used to see them in Ark & Ok when I was running a dedicated automotive run from Decatur Al to Ok city.
