Search feature is your friend, lots of posts some good some bad.

 

If you like to be micromanaged its great company

 

I've heard that if you get on the telephone pole account you'll make really good money. You'll be out 6 weeks at a time and its also an overlength load. The trucks are cabovers for that account and they have a crane for removing the telephone poles. Not sure if all the trucks on that account are cabovers, just the ones I've seen have been.

 

Same here.

I would like to know the length of their application process between applying and getting an orientation date.

 

I have done extensive research on System and plan to start orientation in January. I have talked with management former drivers current drivers and drivers I know in the Industry.... The 1 thing I have found is that good or bad they are very direct and matter of fact.. Micromanaged I have not heard that from 1 person I have talked to so seeing it here is the first for me and I have been researching for months. The pole fleet is considered 1 of there best fleets.. They do not actually only haul poles in fact they haul more general commodities more often than poles.. It is the lower 48 and Canada and yes 6 weeks out and longer so if home time is a priority for you then I would look at other divisions. I have heard that the only division that I have been warned to stay away from is NW. which is not a problem for me since I am from Illinois. Also make sure when looking at divisions you look at the hiring area for that division. Poles is basically any where on the I-90 corridor from Spokane to Chicago.

Hope that helps

 

They gave you a date? If so, how long did it take?

I applied and I would like to know when should I decide to move on the next opportunity.

 

Yes actually I filled out an app and pryor to going to cdl school. I followed up with an email I got a reply the following day and they also offered and sent me a pre hire letter. I graduate from school end of december and then after the holidays January 4 I will start orientation. So I would call or email them and tell them you applied and wanted to check on the status..

 

I did actually.

Last thing I heard is I was getting an interview; that was a week ago.

 

call them back and ask them or email to check. every time I have emailed them I have gotten a response within a hour or so.
