    Woodys..Sorry my inbox aint workin right.Estes is a great choice. The schedule is M-F, if you want to work a sixth day and you have the hours you can . No dock work for drivers._.Go for it.

    Yes.
    They DO NOT hire students.
    They will train drivers from within at their own school.
    They periodically have classes of employees that have worked the dock, and been yard jockeys.
    Requirement was 3 yrs exp as I recall.
