    You don't want to waste time but you're willing to be contractually obligated to a company that you may not even be happy with for a year?

    I attended a private school on my own dime and started with a company I will NOT be leaving when I hit 1 year experience in a few short months. I am making more money than I ever made before trucking and I did not waste my time.

    We already have our CDL. Not interested in going to school again. :|

    Our best option would be to take this knowledge and use it at a company today. Just wondering about the U.S. express company.

    My wife started an app yesterday. Then ended it because she had a question. Then when she called today they said she had a recruiter.

    Also, the guy told her that her "recruiter" called her today. Which didn't happen (seems like a bad road already) and gave her his name.

    After she was transferred to that person's number she left a message. But he didn't call her back and now they are closed.

    Also... Not willing to be contractually obligated anywhere for any amount of time.

    But, since the contact wi the recruiter hasn't happened yet not sure what they really offer.

    Thanks for the heads up!

    When I started I paid cash for my schooling (big discount like 50%) it was a Stevens satellite school I went on to drive for JBS and put in just over a year. I feel like they are a great starter company.Then I went to drive for Sinton/Borden Dairy for two years then last year they laid everyone off. I got on with Frito Lay and its been great ever since. I feel fortunate to get on with a company that pays well and cares about there drivers.
