Newbie trying to get on with either PRIME or KKW (a journal of my progress)

Pride would be a good choice and they have a high volume of freight in and out of Southern Cali, I think they also have a western 11 regional. Good equipment, good people, My buddy worked there 6 years

 

Thanks for the pride info Palla, I need to call them again to get some clarification on what they told me, my guess is because I have over 2 years otr under my belt but that was over 5 years ago......I wonder if they have a CDL school because their training does resemble England's training as far as phases and miles and what not.....I would not mind at all giving them a 1 year commitment and drive solo in a regular and not in a lightweight truck like at Prime.....when I drove for kllm, I always stayed out 6 or so weeks, but I went thru Fontana often enough not to mind that at all....6 weeks in a lightweight truck?.....I'm not sure.

 

hey Pallas83 you might consider Prime school. I know you have your CDL in hand. Normaly they may not hire you due to your lack of experience. But if you tell them you are willing to go through school as long as you can keep your current CDL. They may say ok.

 

I'm currently with crst. While I've got no problem with them that I wouldn't have elsewhere I'm looking to switch so I can drive solo and regional, which they offer neither. The main ones I'm looking at are kkw, Gordon and pride. Got a couple questions about kkw I can't seem to find answers to. On average, how many miles do you actually get? Any idea if they only hire around the Pomona area? ( I live up by Santa Maria). And do the trucks have apu's or inverters?

 

I sure would appreciate it. Oh I also need to know if they take the trucks home. Fortunately I live in one of those rare truck friendly small Cali towns.
