Who is Hiring right now?

4500 for truck driving school??? Glad I learned the old fashion way, started driving when I was a kid working on farms. You may try crete, depends on the school you went to if they will hire you or not. You will still have to go with a trainer for a few weeks.

yeah and from what i hear if you get sent home during orientation you are not paid for any of it so even if you make it 10 days of the 12 and then get sent home you ahve to pay your way back home and you dont get paid for any of the days your there. At least at werner you are considered hired on the 2nd day of orientation

mars i tried crete but they do not hire from the school i attended, i dont know why just about everyone else does.

I don't know about the orientation pay at TMC if you didn't make it, however the guys that didn't make it through DH's class were bought bus tickets home on TMC's dime.

country did you see my comment in the other transam thread about them having my application for 2 weeks and once they told me they were working on it and i called back later in the week and they told me they havent started it.

i guess a student who had the highest average in the class(95%), with no tickets in 6 years no criminal record isnt a good person to hire. I should be gold to most of these companies but most arent hiring or wont pick up the phone when i call or call me back.

seriously i think that company who can answer my phone call and not make jump me through hoops for an approval is best. So far the only one who has answered when i called or called me back when i left a message is werner. Shock? i think not. Tried getting in contact with someone at swift everytime i called no answer got voice mail left message and no return call or return email. it took talking with another swift driver's recruiter from when he signed on a while back to find swift aint hiring right now. (seriously though the guy i talked to was very professional and returned a phone call in 15 minutes)

PAM was good til the recruiter "fell off the face of the earth" and you couldnt get a hold of anyone. Still cant(wanted to go to decker)

I applied at central and got a phone call last week and am startign to consider them.

Maverick and tmc have been good with call backs or email backs but ive been on the waiting list at maverick over a month and my state has actually moved down the list, tmc has been ok im just not crazy about going to 12 days of orientation and not being considered hired til the end.

sorry for the rant but i had to getr thatoff my chest.

Werner can send you packing on day one or day two and you will still be in the same position.
I wish that I knew more companies that hire out in your area but unfortantly I do not

You might consider Covenant, FFE, KLLM and Prime. I noticed that they hire out of your area.
