    Ok I'm heading to england today in salt lake. I know a lot of u say stay away, but they are one of the only company that will hire in my area and guarantee a job, yea I could go to swift but I've heard that u aren't guaranteed a job. If anyone can tell me about the campus area will I be staying at the main terminal and what is near there.

    Please only positive feedback I don't wanna hear stay away run just helpful insight thank u.

    Best of luck to you. Keep us updated when you can. I've learned in my 52+ years that, no matter what you do or where you go, your attitude and determination do more for success than anything else.

    Make sure you bring cash cause England doesn't provide any meals. Just do the time there snd move on asap. I wish you a better experience then most have there.

    I brought the cash. I'll do the 9 months then find another company that hires in my area. I'll be going in with a positive can do attitude.

    Where do you live? It would be helpful to know as someone might know of a company that hires there.

    From my understanding no company pay you while in training you only get the training pay once you get in a truck all the compianies I looked at were that way

    Guarantee a job?no they don't guarantee a job.My friend went there against all advice and failed to pass the written air brakes test and was sent home.They give you like 2 days if you don't pass you get sent home and still owe them money.Best of luck to you some people like it there just seems more negative said then positive.May just work out for you.
