New Driver Looking For Advice On Choosin A Company

i noticed their website is rather vague.

 

Well, my school was sponsored by a Jr. College and was 200 hrs. Look for the same and you can't go wrong.

 

I hate that 'miles per week' saying because its a hit or miss kind of thing. You can run your tail off one week then die of boredom. That is just trucking. However, the longest I have sat waiting for a load is 5 hrs. To date, I am avg 2012 miles per week just as a reference. The northeast consists of New York and north. Benefits are on a 6 month delay. You are assigned a truck and you may take it home. We use paper logs. Also, we use a cool system called Transflow. All of our paperwork is sent via Transflow at Pilot or Love's. We also use Trippack, but just the scaning part. We don't have to send our stuff in via UPS. Saves time and is very accurate.

Happy to help!!

 

ok, cool i think the one i am going to near my house is 160 hours

 

160 is better than 100, but the longer the better. There is aLOT to learn as far as HOS, logging, etc. My instructor spent 50 hrs alone on logging and I am SO glad he did.

 

OMG! You're gonna run NorthEast for $.29 a mile?!?! NO, No, NO! Call USF GLen Moore and see what they'll do. (Carlisle PA and Knoxville TN) I know they train.. and certainly, they'll pay you for it and you are paid for orientation., (Talk to Johanna in recruiting. SHe used to drive and will NOT lie to you. I am assuming she is still there....at the Carlisle PA recruiting ofc.)

d.

 

No, no. We get paid extra for running NE, NYC and HazMat.

 

i'm getting extra log schooling by studying the Power Point stuff Logsrus sent me plus studying the crap outa my CDL manual. hopefully it will help me have a head start in school.

 

Welcome to the board!
