    Just out of curiosity, what is the rider policy there? can you take your wife with you? and when after training I assume. She just come here from Philipines and I don't want to leave her alone at home because she does not know the roads, or have a license yet, but would love to just hang out with me until she is more comfortable with the good old USA. thanks guys.

    I'm transitioning out of the Army and putting myself threw Truck Driving School. I already got excepted to work for McElroy but I don't know where they mostly work out of in NC. The wife and I are looking for land to put a house down and don't want to be to far away from were the hub will be, if that even maters. Also do they pay my way down to orientation. My recruiter did not give me to much information. Sorry for so many questions, but i thank you all for your help and time.

    Would you mind answering a few questions about McElroy?...
    1. Do they do Orientation just in Al or do they do orientation in all their terminals? I ask because I'm in North Carolina and there is a terminal in Pleasant Hill.

    2. Do they pay for transportation to and from Orientation? Do they pay meals and hotel for Orientation?

    3. How long is Orientation? How long after orientation do you go out for training and how long is training?

    Sorry for all the questions but I'm looking into different companies to start my truck driving career in and would like to know as much info as possible.
    Thank you.

    Lol....ask away man I'll try to answer everything I can for you....McElroy main headquarters is located in Cuba, alabama.


    FOR NEW DRIVERS:
    Being that you are out of N.C. you would be going thru the pleasant hill N.C. terminal for your first 2 weeks of training, these first 2 weeks are yard training backing up and tarps and classroom videos, pre trips and piss test hair test and agility test

    Mcelroy will reimburse you .20 cpm for one way there and one way home in your vehicle, they will pay 500 each week for these weeks and they will pay to put you in a hotel 2 new drivers per room

    Food is on you, you can grab breakfast at the hotel for free

    Transportation is on you to get from hotel to terminal, there were 6 people in my group....get to know these guys and carpool together
     
    Samdaman Thanks this.

    These 4 weeks are also 500 each week
