    Lynchmob,

    Excellent thread. It's good to read something positive for a change. My school ends March 2, so hopefully before I graduate I'll have some pre-hires. I'll definitely look at WS.

    Sacman.....ya, definitely NOT a recruiter. If I sound like one, it might be because everything they tell you (which isn't much, meaning they don't hype it up) is true. I was just sharing my experiences....I can send you pics of me in my truck if you want :biggrin_2558:

    Glad to hear you're doing the 30 day Warp, you wont regret it!

    Yeah, feels like sitting on pins and needles waiting....I need to get in contact with Roxy tomorrow, she needs to email the info package to me as I have an appointment for my DOT physical on Friday, although I will probably have to put off training one more month, into late Jan or early Feb due to my wife having some major surgery in January...still excited to get started though!

    Hey, Lynch, check your email in a little while. I have a couple of questions for you I'm gonna shoot towards you tonite.

    Stay safe out there everyone!

    I believe the 10 day is for people that already have their CDL and/or experience, and the 30 day is a way to get your CDL, but you have to pay for it.

    I went to W/S website and I guess that they don't hire much from the East coast.

    To elaborate on what Warp stated. 10-day is just an orientation to the company. You've already gone through school and have obtained your full CDL license. The company goes through policy and procedure then a series of driving tests to see what your driving skills are like, and if they arent' up to snuff, they send you home.

    The 30 day class, is from the ground up, with zero driving experience.

    Mr. Slowsky, we have VN 670's
