    Hey all another newb here. I'm headed to the dreaded meatgrinder in SLC(england) for training on saturday and need info on any better starter companies. I have a clean MVR and am an Iraq vet with an honorable discharge. No criminal backround problems and already have a Class A CDL. I'm in Oregon and would prefer to haul 11 western but am totally willing to run the 48 if need be. Any input would be nice

    With the reputation England has that I have learned on here it seems like a somewhat prudent thing to do.

    Welcome,

    England has good and bad things, the same can be said about any company, so before you worry about finding another company, go through orientation and give them the same chance you are asking them to give you!

    If after that your still not happy, then move on!

    Thanks for serving our country, much appreciated!

    Peter
