Schneider to ACT - yes, another ACT thread :)

Dang that looks good. Wish I was in Rockford.

 

Does ACT hire new grads? Im starting school Oct.1 in Springfield OH and live in Columbus,OH. It would be nice to get loads that run through my area. My father in law works for YRC and he said he could get me hired in Indy after graduating. Im just worried cuz I heard they typically lay off drivers during slow season. Im just looking at options. Any advice is appreciated. Seems like ACT treats you well.

ACT doesn't hire new graduates, you have to have sometime behind the wheel. Last time I checked, it was 9 months + school, or 2 years w/o school. (I freely admit, that info is 2 months old.)

 

Thanks for the info. Guess I'll keep my fingers crossed YRC will start me Mid November. He did say they are needing alot of drivers though. You guys know much about the teamsters? I wonder how well the women fit in there.

 

Thanks for the info guys, guess I'll keep ACT on my list of prospects for later. BTW your posts on your loads is interesting and helpful. Gives me a good idea of what to expect. Are you a company driver or L/O?

 

OMG....if you like wings you'd love Qaker Steak and Lube. Ever been to one? There is only one within 200 miles or so but they have one up in Polaris and they have awesome wings. Always have to drag my hubby out of there. Inside is full of vintage Harleys, fullsize Nascar, its pretty cool.
