Gordon Nor Cal

Hello All,

i am looking into becoming a driver and it appears that Gordon is one of the better companies out there to drive for from what I'm reading. I live in the Sacramento, CA area and it looks like there used to be a drop yard off of Florin Perkins Road. Can anyone tell me if it is still there? Is this where Gordon would require me to park on home time, or do they let you take the truck home? Also, after training can you actually get home once a week? I see Gordon trucks passing through Sac all the time so this doesn't seem like it would be a problem. Any information from Gordon vets would be appreciated! Thanks much!

 

Thanks a lot for the info. I went by the drop yard in Sacramento and saw several Gordon trucks parked there along with a few unhooked trailers. Looks like it is mostly a spot for drivers to park on their H/T. I was glad to hear that they get you home when you ask. My goal would be once a week, but I realize that as an OTR driver that will probably be wishfull thinking. The DM issue seems to be pretty consistent with all the trucking firms, Gordon just "seems" to be better than the others based upon what I'm reading on here. Thanks again for the info!

 

Thanks much for the info. That would be an ideal situation eventually. I'm sure after training I'll have to work with whatever I'm given initially. After time I'm sure that's possible. Just trying to get info from Gordon driver's in the real world. You can ever trust what the recruiters or the driving school sales folks tell ya

 

Great information! Thanks much. I-5 is definitely what I would prefer.
