DrtyDiesel... Back to Local Work

Hey, just saw your post lurking around the forum tonight and figured I'd chime in. I'm newbie green as grass, but while in school a local fuel delivery co dropped off 2 applications with the school manager and said sendme your 2 best students. Me andanother guy got called to the school managers office and were offered the opportunity. The interview was pretty much just a formality; they seemed to have already decided to hire us, lol! Test ride was Thursday, Monday is physical and drug test, then orientation starts Tuesday. I asked the fella on the test ride why the company was willing to take such newbies with no experience, and he said it was because we were recommended by the school, that in my case I was a little older and had some other real world experience (retired military), but mainly they had good results training newbies that dont already have bad habits ingrained. Maybe that gives hope to others who are worried about not having the years of experience asked for in the job advertisement...just go shead and apply anyways.? Anyways, its an established local company with a track record of retaining their veteran drivers, the pay and benefits package is outstanding, and the people I met so far,including my boss, seem genuinely good. I think I'll enjoy it. Best of luck to you DD!

 

No autos in the fleet. Its a mix of Petes and KWs, wish I had more specs, but I'm still just learning to differentiate btw the makes, let alone the models. All day cabs. Thx for the reply! I'll do my best to keep up with the thread as well.

 

Thats gotts make grabbing gears interesting, lol!

 

Is this the same did who was working at LST? If so what happened? Work dry up or just wanting to be closer to home?

 

Congrats driver!
Its encouraging to hear someone how's liking their job.

 

Congratulations be safe.
