    Hello Chinatown.. Henderson was an interesting experience. They are a great bunch of people for starters.. Also the one thing I need to just let people know who are considering henderson trucking for cdl training. There training is a mirror image of Prime's training except Prime is a CDL Mill to get people into there leasing program. While I knew that Henderson was in an advantage leasing partnership with Prime it goes far beyond that. Prime has taken over all of Hendersons customers. By all accounts and even from Hendersons own managers that Prime either already has or will be completing very soon the acquisition of Henderson/. That was my only issue as I will not work for Prime in any way shape or form. Yes they are getting in new trucks it seems like daily.. They get them from Prime. I will say that Henderson and the people I met there is a Class company. The people are great people and seem to really care about the people coming to join there organization.

    I don't know how I feel about working with Prime lol they're toward the bottom of the list. Although if I can't make it with Millis I'll try other companies.

    I'm "all in" on getting out to drive,so making money as quickly as possible if a HUGE thing for me right now.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    Well got denied....I don't know why,just said the usual "other applicants have been considered" should I keep applying or just go to Swift?? lol

    I had a gap in employment when my dad died and I was moving back from New Mexico. And it was hard getting back on my feet with that combo....If that's the reason why I was denied, that's pretty pathetic.

    Well you could go to Swift just to get experience and go somewhere else afterwards. Are there other companies you are interested?

    The one China mentioned. (Henderson) but I was hoping for something closer to me in Western PA....I'm trying to go ASAP I have most my ducks in a row just want a GOOD RELIABLE COMPANY to work for. Swift isn't on that list for me..
    I really was hoping for Millis because of their setup and training seems "top notch" I could go to a local school but feel like I won't get proper training.

    Well Dutch Maid Logistics in NE Ohio and Nick Strimbu ( Akron Oh area I think) will help you get your cdl. Don't know how far away they are from you in Pa.

    From the looks and sound of all this, if Prime does take over Henderson, it is quite possible that a lot of Henderson's drivers will be looking for jobs at other trucking companies.

    God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!
