My honest, no BS, opinion of P.A.M.

I heard somewhere else that C1 has a school in North Carolina. Is there any truth to this? I don't think it is although it would be a lot closer than Little Rock.

 

what about cex its a division of pam . i know its all teams ... any info would be helpful.

 

As of the first of the year, PAM has done away with the individual divisions and we are all now considered PAM

 

What are the trucks like with PAM? I know they are auto-shifts but what about amenities? Do they have inverters or do you have to get one yourself? I am assuming the truck will come bare-bones and it is my responsibility to "make it home". Also, do PAM trucks have CB's? I know some companies don't provide CB radios either. Thanks!

 

PAM-ALLEN FREIGHT SERVICES......i use to work for allen freight services in jacksonville,fl. this was the best company i ever worked for. they got me home when i wanted to be there, and my dm would always ask me, "when do you want to come back out". i got great miles with these guys and you are a person, not a truck number, with these guys. if i ever decide to move back to the mainland and do otr again. i would go back to these guys.

 

Bare bones - and most, if not all otr companies don't provide CB's ...

There is no more AFS - all PAM management now. and pay scale too I would imagine.

Good luck.

 

Paid for my own school so had no contract with PAM, was out 3 months and spent average of 4 days a week sitting, waiting on reload, every weekend. Made decision to quit. Called Driver Manager, told him I wanted to quit. Was in Laredo Texas and they told me I would have to take truck to Tontitown under a load or I would be charged with Truck abandonment and they would take my finally paycheck and money in escrow to pay another driver to return truck. PAM is a total joke> I left truck at thier drop yard, had guard sign for keys. Waiting to see where we go from here.

 

It seems like it's either feast or famine with PAM!

 

Ok I start school next month at C1 in Indy. Do the drivers get paid while they are with the driver trainer?

 

Once you get on the truck with your trainer, you make 300.00 per week
