When you say a really good background. what do you mean?

 

I'm from Pacific NW, got hired by Prime.

 

I went to Falcon right out of school and I love it here.

 

Honesty about all infractions and criminal background, they do a small check but will b very in depth during the first week. list every infraction you have. I'm in load securement and it is a ton of fun and very safety focused which i love. they take care of you very well

 

I just got hired on by PGT Trucking out of PA as a student strictly flatbed.

 

I'm going to challenge the FB's...Won't finish school until mid-May. Then at 63 yrs old I'm going to go flatbed. I started, like so many newbies, thinking pulling van was the only trucking. Then I started noticing what the FBs were hauling! Yikes! That's for me. I haven't found the company yet but I'm looking hard.

I have a spotless record of any type and good work history including my own Real Estate Brokerage for the last 5 years (sorry, I apologize for that!). Now it's time to go to work. I love this forum also!
