YRC; The CDL Journey.

Hey guys,

After being denied by TMC (Probably a good thing) I was offered an opportunity to learn and drive for YRC international. This forum has been full of resources for me. So, Id 'like to give back what has been given to me.

Feel free to ask any questions about my journey.

I don't start school for about a month but i'll keep you up on the hiring process.

Their in house program is NOT PAID.

Upon completion start at .46 cents a mile pulling doubles.
and $18.17 for anything done besides driving.

I was not offered a local position. OTR Home every 3-4 days. "On call"

100% paid benefits.

Teamsters union.

 

Yes, unpaid 4 weeks for CDL. Once you get in the trainer truck for 6 weeks its paid at your hourly detention rate. I was offered 18.17 per hour.

 

Carlisle, PA.

 

Yep, I figured that out. I applied a month ago had zero response. They are only 15 minutes away from me. So it was a no brainier. I followed up with emails and phone calls to no reply. So, I moved on. YRC even though I know i'll need to work and it'll be some time before I can get some gravy runs.. I'm okay with paying my dues.
Better then going with swift or something. (In my opinion)

Also, A&S Kinard wants me as well. They offered a hotel room and such during training. Any insight on them? Just curious. @Chinatown
