Good deal!!! I've attended almost 4 years ago... you've made a very good choice... Epes transport will hire you as a rookie and they will train you...they have open local positions at Clayton/Smithfield area... If you choose to go with EPES, you will be going 8 weeks OTR with a trainer and once you've clear that you can go local right after that...
Please feel free to PM me if you have any questions!

 

Hey got more info on Epes??
How long is orientation for experienced drivers?
Are the trucks governed if so at what?

Thanks

 

Hey mate, as far as I know for experienced drivers it's shorter...you can check calling their recruiters...I'd like to say it was 4 weeks but it could've change...some people that I know (for the local position) , it was 2-4 weeks with a trainer... about speed when I started it was at 62...and then it went up to 64 maybe 65...hope this is helpful for ya...

 

@CT-Driver860
If you want faster trucks, look at Abilene Motor Express @72 mph.
Titan Transfer @70 mph.
MC Van Kampen trucks run 75 mph.

Frock Bros. Trucking - heard they are fast, but don't know for sure. Call and ask.

 

Hey There,
I used to work for Epes about 5 years ago. It was three days orientation. Trucks are governed at 62mph, which did not bother me. With good pIanning it did not make any difference whether I drove a bit faster or not. Generally run about 2,500-3,000 miles weekly. Mostly around 2,600. I likeed going to NY City. I t was always the same load so once you got the route down it was a piece of cake and it paid an extra $75. good benefits too. I highly recommend them.
