H.O. Wolding is a GREAT company!

I'm glad you're still around Bram. Remembering passwords isn't easy. I have to write my different ones down because I don't remember either. From what I've seen on here lately it looks like Wolding is still one of the better starting companies. I like Roehl's hometime options but I'm not really liking what I'm reading on them and Millis wants to film all their drivers which I don't think I'd care for. Wolding needs to get their CDL school back like they had a few years ago but I'm sure that'll never happen.
Thanks for posting Bram and if you get time post your experiences once in awhile and pump some life back in this thread. I know you've got other thing to do, that's understandable.

I have heard really good things about them but they only give you 30 days to get in and start working so its too late for me

 

They want to get people in before they forget what they learned. I recently got accepted. Who is Midwest regional that could give some advice and maybe miles pay??

 

Looking at Wolding as a possible start to my driving career...start school in October. Anyone familiar with their NE Regional division? Curious on how often HOW runs into NYC. Any info would be great.

Thanks

 

I believe they run nyc often, I opted to not go there at all. Most is maine to ny. NY to maine. Some Massachusetts, pa, nh.

 

They pay 75 dollars for loads to new York plus milage. I just started going with trainer over the road Sunday but it sounds like they have plenty of work. They also got 50 new trucks.

 

I have a pre-hire and start orientation on Sept 2nd....any info on what to expect would be greatly appreciated.

 

Just got done with there orientation going on over the road training starting tomorrow. What kinda questions you got I am bored so don't worry about asking to many.
