Hi Voodoo. Really appreciate your straight up information on SRT. I read and hear bad things about them on par with Swift and Western Express. The recruiter who called me was very nice. Considering going with them as I happened to see one of their trucks here in Oregon. Recruiter told me they only have 10-speeds and maybe I should go with an automatic company because I told her my downshifting is a bit rusty. Basically I have trouble timing it right and rev too much or miss the gear so end up breaking and shifting back into 2nd or 3rd at a stop. I got to learn somewhere and I'd probably get a 10-speed at Swift and Western starting out anyways. I guess my concern would be the training part since I am a student. Trainers look ok there?

Oh man welcome back. I know I'm late but I've been tied up recently. Okay. I picked up my truck on Wednesday. I slept at the Kenworth (Thank God) as they were polite enough to allow it. Now I was assigned a load to New York from Grand Prairie, TX. Such a good trip. Only downfall is that I forgot what day of the week it was and I ended up here a day early. I drop this load tomorrow night. Who says recap hours can't be useful?

You say your downshifting is rusty? The good news is that you are required to take a driving test when you come for orientation. I had to just to show that I could still do it as I've driven up to an 18 speed tranny. But they are getting automatic transmissions on the fleet. They will work with you no matter what. I didn't have to go with a trainer due to what I've already done. But from what I hear from some of the students, there are some good and bad. But just like with any company, you have to be the one to decide if it's the right fit. Again, my statement here cannot nor does it serve to influence your decision.born&raisedintheusa, Lonesome and Rocknroller4 Thank this. -

I did but unfortunately living out West they don't offer solo. Only teams. I will just have to try Swift I guess to start. It's really my only last option left. Well Swift, Werner, CR England (hell no) or Navajo Express.born&raisedintheusa and Voodoo Pyg Thank this.
