    Did you have someone loan you a truck to take the driving test in ?

    I called YRC a few times, I even got the local program directors number, called, left a message. did not get any response.

    So, am going with Prime Inc. My orientation is in two weeks from today and going into their flatbed division.

    Hey man, I'm going to be in the same boat as you. I'm going to take my permit next week. I would look up trucking paid cdl companies. I have talked with ROEHL, CFI, Wilson Logistics and other's but came down towards ROEHL and CFI, C.R. England my last company to choose. But do your research and ask questions. There will be a ton probably of negative's on some of these companies. But for me I'm going in for the experience, yeah of the course the paycheck along with it. But mostly the experience and the joy of making a difference in my opinion for this country. And be in mind that you will be out on the road for a while until you get back home. I wish you the best of luck man.

    Thanks Travis. I want the experience too.... and I like the flatbed and having to secure the load. I ready have an orientation date with Prime and so far I like what I see and here. Prime has a drop yard in Portland where I live, so it will work out pretty good.
     
    Travis05Lock Thanks this.

    Yea, I've called a few times, did the website chat, talked to a recruiter, talked to a program director... got nowhere. Anyhow, I'm over YRC. I have a place to go now.
