    R. E. West Transportation out of Ashland City is a good choice.

    Do you already have a CDL?

    R. E. West will PAY YOU to get your CDL and become a driver for our company. We don't make you sign a contract; we don't send you to someone else's school then make you worry about tuition reimbursement. We bring you to our facility in Ashland City, TN and train you from the ground up on the skills necessary to obtain your CDL.

    listen to this one only one choices should even be a option when chinatown doesnt even suggest it and he recommends a lot companies. stay away from pam they rather go court lose and move states then pay there drivers minimum wage.

    There was that one PAM guy who made $200 a week. Hope he’s doing well.

    You do know what PAM stands for? Pixx and moan,,,coming from Wis., Pumpkin has always been a reputable outfit. PAM has been around too, but not like Schneider. I used to pick up at Ft. Howard Paper in Green Bay, one of Schneiders main hauls, at least years ago, and I rarely heard a driver say anything bad about them. I'd go with Pumpkin.

    That explains why the crossmembers on their dryvans all look like u-bolts.

    HA! Actually, I don't think they haul many ball-buster rolls, maybe back hauls,,most of their freight was diapers, paper towel, and butt-wipe, packed full, maybe 30K. We rarely got those loads, but paid good and fly through the coops.

    Well those trailers got them sagging bellies somehow. Maybe there's a new hip hop style in the industry. :p
