Got my first Job, now what?

I definitely don’t think this is the best company. The nicest thing I could say about them is , they’re in business. Just got here, it looks like a prison.

 

Good advice, I’ll remember that.

 

Thanks for the info. The reason I asked about months is because I’m already looking for another job. There’s a lot of opportunities that open up for new guys after 3 months. Even more at 6, a year, etc. There was only 3 companies that would take me with no experience currently.

 

I got a headache already:/

 

I’m pretty confident this is accurate information

Western Express Orientation
Day 1 - 700-1600
Check in (arrive early, unless you want to wait)
Physical (optional, if you bring valid long form)
(I was planning on doing it because it was free, but that would have been a very long wait)
Drug Test - urine
Welfare Check - this was weird
Road Test - 10 minutes, 3 drivers, drive second if possible
Videos - on your phone

Day 2 - 745-1600
Safety - a lot of waiting, meet some team members

they served food, I didn’t bother to see what it was. Supposedly there is a fitness center on the facility, but I haven’t seen it.

after day 2 orientation is over for van division
Flat bed has 2-3 days of securement trainging

Orientation is unpaid for days 1-2
Flatbed training securement is paid at $60 a day

once you get with a trainer, pay is $70 a day for everyone. You need 70 hours here to finish the training. A lot of guys can do it in 7-10 days.

after training you are supposed to be offered a truck, in time.

Van is currently starting at $0.40 cents per mile
Flatbed is at $0.48 cents per mile plus tarp

 

Yep, I was making more just driving Uber eats! Orientation is over tomorrow, and I’m leaving. Unless they have a trainer for me right away. Some people have been waiting over 3 weeks already!
