    Says 1 year preferred. Doesn’t hurt to apply. You can apply a million times doesn’t blackball you from them. Even if they don’t call you apply ever couple months. Pretty much what I had to do.

    Yes they have a dock to driver program. You apply for full time dock. Then in the interview ask about it and say you want to do that. You’ll be paid hourly while at CDL school. Unlike the megas where your doing a 3-4week course on your dime.

    Linehaul starting out can be out 5 days, home every other day, or home daily. Depends on terminal. Once you get a bid your home daily.
