    No, we bounce back and forth between reefer and dry... Just depends on the load and who gets called up to pull it. We don't have two divisions ... Totally load by load.

    They should give you all the details ... I know where I went and I assume it's still the hotel they use for orientation but I don't know if anything changes in the last nine months on that.

    I don't think I will fail those. I'm pretty healthy and don't smoke haha! But I will let you know! Hopefully I can get a spot right away! All of my friends went to mega, I am the only one who went the other way like for real! They even asked what the heck i'm doing haha! Just told them I wanna start up to something really decent company coz I don't have plan jumping off :)

    Noooooooooo

    I am so glad I missed out on the drama of a mega... I came here (TTR) and Chinatown gave me like five names of companies and I am sure any of those five would have been great options... Ended up at Abilene and thought I would be here for my starter company and move on but thinking I will be here for a bit longer.
     
    Hoot67 Thanks this.

    I would say they really never bother to do their research. I've done ton of research before I went to CDL School and I don't wanna just start to something just because majority went to that direction no. I will for sure not goin to regret joining Abilene :)

    I wonder how many good drivers are lost due to their mega experience when they might have enjoyed working for a different company.

    95% haha! Like I mentioned out of my 15 friends in CDL i am the only one who choose other company. The rest if the crew are doin their mentorship in Mega but thats their choice. I tried to suggest but they won't listen!

    This is a smart one... Abilene will be lucky to have you on board... Get through training and a few months of running solo and things will be feeling good at that point.
