transport america

nope, just a company driver

 

Hey trucker Smith I forgot to ask you something about orientation and the physical. They said TA have a intense physical which consists of what?

 

its not that bad, you carry some weights around in a basket, you climb a ladder for like 2 mins, you step up on a step stool for like 2 mins, you do a duck walk

 

OK thanks for the info

 

Hey Trucker Smith, I am moving back to Indiana soon and have a Indiana drivers license. Does TA have a terminal in Indianapolis and Fort Wayne.
Can you answer a few questions for me , sorry if they have been asked before.

I will be a new grad and CDL holder will they hire me ?
What type equipment (trucks and transmissions) and can you drive them home ?
Do you have to go to Mexico,Canada ?
I will be a solo driver where all do they go ?
Do they have a lot of dry van jobs ?
Do I need to attend an accredited school and if so do you know which ones ?
And what about pay and bonus ?
Thanks

Dennis

Hey everyone! I currently work for Falcon Transport in Youngstown, Ohio. I'm thinking about going to Transport America. They want me to do a regional run (Ohio, Northern Indiana, and Southern Michigan.) Home every night, might be gone one night a week. I read, you have to be out 21 days. Is that just for the OTR driver and new drivers. I have a year of experience. Thanks everyone.

 

thats foe new drivers with trainers

 

Hello everyone,
Do they have terminal or at least drop yard in NJ anywhere close to NYC ? I don't have a place to park where I live so if I'd go with them I'd need to known where I'd park a truck for a hometime
