Bigron, I appreciate the info man. I'm with Celadon now...they are cool peeps. Been with them since Dec 07'. I'm just getting tired of the OTR lifestyle man, I want 2 be # home a lil bit more. I live in Little Rock, and according to the Fed Ex website, they are needing a city driver, and they have an opening for a driver apprentice. I prolly need to go for the apprentice.....I don't have the slightest clue how to hook up, and deal with the doubles. Are u going to be home e're night w/linehaul, or u don't know yet? Good Luck with em kid~

Well you can apply for driver and dont worry about doubles they will show you how its done. Oh and their linehaul drivers are home everyday weekends off.

I just started with them this week.It takes about 4-6 weeks after the interview before everything is done and they start you. Be prepared to answer a bunch of questions during the interview and they will give you a simple math test to see if you can count. Depenging on the number of people they are interviewing it could take a week or more before you know that they are going to proceed with you. I would call after a week just to touch base with them. If they call you back for a second interview then you proably have the job if all your references check out. During this interview you will fill out a pile of paperwork and they will send you for a drug screen and physical.
The final step will be the road test where you do a thorough pre trip and hook up a set of doubles and do about a 20 mile road test. If all goes well a few days later you will be called in to sign the employment offer letter and have your picture taken for your i.d. badge and set up a start date.
Good luck and keep us informed. If you have any more questions I will be happy to answer them for you. Chris.

There are a few that are auto's, from what I've seen they're the little KW's used for some city work. All the road tractors I've driven have been 10 speeds.

The driver apprentice is for someone who doesn't have a CDL, or under the required experience level. Hooking doubles really isn't that bad, just take your time and listen to what the guys who've been doing it forever tell you. People here are very helpful, very unlike any "trucking" job you'll ever have.

I applied for that, but i'm like #70 on the list and my terminal is only on like the 30's! I hope I have luck with them.
