I have seen thier trucks around, I know they are a larger company, they uesd to be pretty active out of Bozeman and Billings, I would see a lot of thier trucks around there, I got the impression though that thier drivers wenrt making all that much, but I dont have anything to back that up with other than seeing that they are a large company with lots of company trucks.
Might be worth a shot to you though, what are they offering? -
4 week school guaranteed job making $43,300/yr pretty vague web site. they also offer 3,600 for tuition reimbursement and a 10 day advanced training(no driver trainer) not sure if that is good or bad. i don't trust any recruiting propaganda as far as i can throw it. its hard looking for a job while deployed especially when companies don't have usefull web sites.

danc694 works for them I believe. Seem to be a pretty good company. He can tell you much more.
Soldier Thanks this. -
Id just pick up the phone and call em, tell them about when your going to be back and see how interested they sound.
I wouldnt trust websites because you dont know how old the information is. There are companies out there that have websites that havent had the information updated in like 2 years. -
He is in Iraq. Not the best time for him to be calling. I would stick with the net and surf till you hit the States.

Check this page out, these are the utah veterans reps for thier dept of labor, they might have a source to get the state to pay for you to get your CDL
It would be way better to get it for free than have to pay for it, or even pay back the outfit you are working for, think about it, the 3-4 grand they will charge is a big chunk towards owning your own truck.Soldier Thanks this. -
Thank you much. I have heard that wyoming national guard will pay for most of the the school. thats my state benefits for being in their national guard not federal.

If you can work it, it will be a good deal for you.
What part of Wyoming you from?
