Yeah, I guess so. But again, their earnings rival that of someone driving for a couple years at another company.
I didn't get the job because of lack of experience

The recruiter at W/S told me all of this over the phone. -

You are saying the W/S recruiter told you this all on the phone before they decided you were a "no-go"? Still, thats a shame. Just because of your school. I went to a podunk school in SoCal and after a couple of years of accident-free driving, I'd put my safety habits and driving skills up against anyone from any other school. -

"Better Qualified Applicants" = new guys that will work cheaper. Someone like you going to W&S with 4 years under your belt would be disgusted at what they would start you off at. The newbie's only get $.25 per mile. Now, the miles sound pretty good according to the drivers that post on here. I'm sure they just didn't want to get into an argument over pay for an experienced person.
Jarhed1964 Thanks this. -
####! I should apply to them just for the heck of it!
I bet they would tell me they have more qualified applicants...Jarhed1964 Thanks this. -
Everything sounded good over the phone except having to drive to Sayreville, NJ to drop off truck. I'd much rather be in a position where I could bobtail home or drop off a truck at a truck stop. There is a truck stop literally 2 miles from my house. That would be much easier for me. I don't know if this is the norm though in trucking because I never went OTR. If this is just the way things are then I guess it would be foolish of me not to take the job because it's the only opportunity I currently have and I'm loving the fact that I don't have to be with a stranger learning for 6+ weeks.
I really wish I lived closer to these terminals. It seems a lot of terminals are in PA and NJ. It seems NOTHING is in CT. The only terminals I have seen in CT so far is Cowan Systems has one up in East Hartford. -

Ever consider moving?
