Last day of orientation done! Passed the test, and completed all tasks for the week. Next 2 weeks, hands-on with a trainer then on my own.
Great company, and definitely a place people need to put serious consideration into if you want a driver friendly operation.
Be safe everyone,
Touktscottme and skinnytrucker Thank this. -
Do you know if they let yuo take the trucks home or do you have to park it at a teminal and drive your personal ?
I ask because I live about 3-4 hours from a terminal and the recruter was kinda vague when I asked. -
So, screwy answers yes but they'll work with ya on whatever you need.tscottme Thanks this. -
I'll be interested in your trainer experiences. I want to apply to A&R in a few months. The pneumatic tanks sound fairly involved. I'm curious how they avoid being overweight. They must have scales at all these places because how else do they know how much product is in the truck?
