Hello everybody,
This forum (especially @Chinatown) was extremely helpful and responsive in my first post here and helped me to decide to go with private training and not company, now I'm going to be graduating soon and have a question...
I cannot find ANY companies in the Salem, Portland, or Albany areas that hire graduates that don't have horror stories about them all over from many sources. Seems like most companies willing to train are terrible!!!!
I'm a felon from 2016, but I have a perfect driving record and great job history, the past record is the only challenge I face. Not super picky about pay, I just want to get trained and be paid "fairly."
Can you suggest any companies that I can reach out to in hopes of beginning the screening process with so I can get to work and get trained as soon as I graduate?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm open to going OTR full time as I want to make the money, just don't want to be away from family for extremely extended periods. I get being away, but not really wanting to be out for 6-8+ weeks at a time.
Thank you for your time!
Good starter in Oregon?

Thank you for the suggestion.Another Canadian driver Thanks this. -
Who have you contacted that won't work with you. There are so many companies between Albany and Portland there should be something out there for you. Have you considered any dock to driver programs or local stuff like Yellow, Oak Harbor, ABF, etc...? You have May and CR England plus a host of other big carriers in this region
Another Canadian driver, tscottme and Chris6785 Thank this. -
Also I am going off of positions I find here, Craigslist, indeed, etc.
I will look at all that you suggested though. Thank you for the suggestions.Another Canadian driver and Chinatown Thank this. -
