Western Express

Hey Tristruck1...so did you end up going with Western Express? Or has anyone else gone through (refresher course)it?

 

Id try ozark....orientation mondays and Wednesday s....its worth a phone call...ask for cissy...

 

Yo Koncrete...where is Ozark's home office? I'm the left coast.

 

For anyone that is interested...I just called Ozark. I was told they do not hire anyone out of the Southern Calif area.

 

666, your advice was already my plan/strategy. I am still in training at a community college but once i test out i am ready to work (apply myself in any way possible) once i get my experience if i am with a good company i will stay if not well off i go to another.

 

Congrats to you! I take it that's a "bus" ticket from Co to Tenn. Did you happen to ask if you get a bus ride home if (for whatever reason), you are "dismissed" from training? Let us know how it goes for you. And GOOD LUCK!!

 

Cool. I spoke to them on the phone. Recruiter told me they would give me an "evaluation". I guess that's some kind of road-test. He said that I might need to go with a trainer for just a week! That would be cool. And another thing I like is that they have a terminal and orientation in Fontana, Ca. That's about a 40 minute drive from home. I think a week would be good. Personally I need training/instruction with "trip planning" and going OTR in general. My driving skills aren't that bad (passed a road-test for another company about 3 weeks ago). Fortunately, or un-fortunately I've never been OTR. Been driving local for Mom & Pop shops.
