    Little tip for those who want wifi transams pass for their wifi is "drivesafe" that will work in either olathe or rockwall location.

    When I was there, all the trucks already had sirius capable radios installed. Had to get your own subscription tho, to turn them on.

    if someone left training after 3 days it was because he was an experienced driving moving to a lease not a newbie

    He was lease but he also didnt pass the pee test from what some guys said. Another lease guy in the class left a day later. As far as my trainer...well, im in my hotel room. 15 of 18 of us had their coach come in. 3 of the 15 had some truck issues or ran out of hours so 12 are on the road now, 3 are sleeping in the truck in the rockwall terminal and im one of 3 in the hotel whose coach coulnt make it. Ill be getting a call from my coach sometime tomorrow, no idea when though, then he will pick me up at the motel.

    no one that fails a pee test works for transam
    think what your saying Company says
    "You smoke too much pot for us to hire you but here is a new T700 you can lease and smoke to your hearts content"
    learn that gossip in the break room is not worth repeating


    All BS aside you come to work here you drive nice equipment and get a start in the industry
    no over the road carrier wants you home they want you driving all the rest is smoke and mirrors
    get your experience stay or move on find a niche that works for you

    sent out 29 new drivers out of Olathe yesterday
    so if we did that every week our fleet would double in a year
    most fade away for various reasons for various reasons
    keep your head down and learn the buisness
