    You can call Pride. But if you do, make sure you disclose the information.
    With Pride, if you do not disclose the information, during orientation they will find out. If they have the information up front, they might work with that, but if you lie, well, you will probably buy your own ticket home. I don't want to be the nay sayer here, but it is the honest truth.
    I have had an incident with Pride and they took me into Safety, had a chat a road test, and told me to be more careful in the future. So there is life after incidents.

    I have talked to a few Navajo drivers out there, it is like any company, I get good comments and I get bad comments. (Heck, I get bad comments from a couple of Pride drivers) If you repeat that, I'll deny it!
    But the good comments about Navajo, do outweigh the bad.
    Good luck to you, and keep us posted here.

    A little update since my last message on this thread..I have got word back from pride after a few phone calls and emails sent to my assign recruiter..They actually said my background and everything was good to them accept for my medical card had to be renew which at that time I totally forgot about it being expired ..She told me I would have self certified myself at my local dmv facility and after that I should be OK to start with them ..I know I said I was heading to Navajo Express but when I heard about my medical card and I had to update it quick or my cdl would be suspended and I would have to redo everything all over again to renew it ..I would of never known this if it wasn't for pride calling me and letting me know not Navajo..I know it's my responsibility to renew my medical card myself but I honestly forgot and didn't know I had to do it since I'm new to this ..If it wasn't for pride letting me know my CDL would of gotten suspended the 26th of this month according to the DMV..Also this morning I got a called from Navajo Express letting me know the recruiter I was speaking to had left for another job according to the new recruiter that is assign to me now which is why I am posting this message now just to let everyone know I heading to pride transport now .. March 20th I'll be down there and will try to start a new thread about my experience with them since I don't see any recent ones.
