    When I drove for them a few years ago, I was the only one in the class. Seeing that you live in the Midwest, you re in their major running lanes. Their main customers are Lowes, Hon Furniture, International Paper, Quaker Oats, Toyota forklifts, and AGC Glass.

    Thanks for the info. How did they treat you?? I spoke to a number of their drivers in person and they all gave a positive evaluation of West Side.

    They treated me pretty well. When I started there, they had the best bonus programs when I started. But in 2008 they were all cut out.

    After today, I am a little confused?? 10 were scheduled, and I am the only one who showed. Did the other 9 drivers find something out that I did not?????

    I wouldn t worry too much. By you being the only one in orientation, you can get stuff done so much faster, and not have to deal with those type of drivers who asks 50 million questions and drag out the day

    The thing that eats at me is are they actually a good company???? I spoke to a number of their drivers and got nothing but good reviews of the company. I can't help to wonder why 9 drivers bailed on orientation??? It is strange.

    Well with the NE being covered in snow, that might caused some not to be able to get there.

    Otherwise? I have no idea.
