    Oh I see, so they’re different departments!

    Cause when I applied with Ashley I thought it was the furniture one,
    Then my recruiter mentioned it’s the PNW so I thought that’s how they call the western region till I knew it’s totally a different one..

    So since you’re closer in the inside what you think of the PNW?!!
    I liked the Ashley from the impression you gave up in here but apparently it’s not the same!!
     
    atruckr Thanks this.

    From what I have seen Ashley is pretty good everywhere I go. I'm not real familiar with the PNW office but based on my experience here I'm willing to give it a go. I was just talking with a guy I know in our office. He is a former driver. He talked good of them and works with them a lot. Just remember they are more like a regular trucking company.

    Plus once you are here, and maybe you don't like it, they have other positions you might like better. You may have to work towards it but .. there's options.
     
    Lonesome Thanks this.
