Chicago drivers: West wind express-- good or bad for new trucker?

Both West Wind and Wolf are owned by Polish emmigrants so I am sure they now each other.

I say this being in this country 11 years, came from Poland too.

Whoever You choose, keep in mind, company safety score has direct association with amount of inspection You will go when You drive their equipment.

And most likely You will be pushed to run illegal.

Also saw their trucks, check Vehicle Maintenance on above webpage.

Good luck!

 

Don't take this the wrong way, but when I first read your post I had to ask myself what kind of quality school is wolf by starting students with companies like West Wind. It sounds like that lady does not have a clue on what a safe Motor Carrier is all about. there are a lot of companies that a student can choose from and yet this school is telling you to go with a bottom of the barrel company, some things wrong with this picture.....

 

Sounds like it was Donna. I wouldn't go with this company. Its probably a Polish friend of hers.

Talk with Amador on who he recommends.

Give yourself some credit....you can tarp.

 

i would stay away from these euro owned chicago outfits, you have many better options out there once you get your cdl, all theses outfits are bad news

 

I think that you should do good with Schneider, I don't recall if they have a yard in the Chicago area, but no matter were you go you will have a learning curve just starting out, just remember to check the CSA scores for who ever you go with.....
