    You got one of those coveted linehaul jobs right out of CDL school.

    Don't let anyone get you down; if you hear a driver that works there complain, ask him/her why they still work there. That usually shuts them up.

    The trucking school was pretty decent I guess. Only payed 1300 bucks in 3 payments. It's call first choice trucking and the instructor there I very intense, everything is fast paced. I've never drove a truck before but I learned how to alley dock and parallel in about 3 days. They work with you so you can schedule when to come. Pre-trip took about 1 week and a half to learn in detail lol. Took me about 3 weeks to graduate. You won't learn everything but you'll learn the basics. I think I got my money's worth

    Yep. What this woman said! Once your pee pee test comes back they'll schedule your orientation. Assuming you pass that is.

    I wouldn't call it "coveted." You should read the thread on Gardner, they pay their drivers peanuts.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    Does it sound like good news? Not to me.Had a buddy worked for Gardner in Washington.$15 hour flat rate or "mileage runs. No deadhead pay back to the barn unless they have a backhaul for you! He would drive 330 miles to Spokane for about $150 then mostly drive back to Olympia for FREE. Their main base is in Fontana or Chino.They have active M13 gangmembers with bandannas working there,countifeitures,and someone profiled on Dateline. Have a tax break deal worked out with Govt to hire felons. THIS ISNT GOOD NEWS!
