Company Training/Where to

I will be attending Jim Palmer in a couple weeks. I will post my experience about them when I am able. Use the search function to find a few recent threads about Jim Palmer/Wil-Trans. They are a smaller company that is expanding pretty quickly, so there should be a lot more info about them in the coming months.

As far as other options go, more information would be helpful. Where you are located, what type of freight you want to haul, pet policy, etc.
@Chinatown will probably have some suggestions for you. However, the above information will help him and others give you a better answer.

 

I never ever heard anything bad about jim palmer trucking outta montana. they were and still are one of the best trucking companies out there. like many of us. they got hit with the csa program. I thought for certian that put them outta business. before any of that. I use to talk to there drivers alot. and they were bring in about 3650 in miles a week. and every one of them liked jim palmer that i talked to. it's good to see there still hanging in there with the rest of us.

if your both going to palmer. that's if i read it right. your making a very good career choice when it comes to trucking companies. to give you an idea. back in 2007 i applied to palmer. it's because of where i live is why they didn't hire me. after that and realizing that all the top jobs in the industry wouldn't hire me. nit picky ***ks!!!!! and realizing i would only ever be able to work for bottom/bad companies. that don't pay or treat there drivers worth a crap. so i figured the only way I would ever be able to have anything more then a bag of dirty clothes. is i had to build my own business and make my own way in trucking and the world.

 

JPT hauls reefer for Prime. JPT uses new 579s and Cascadias, both with APU and inverters.

 

Jim Palmer is the best choice.
Celadon hires students from California; use them as a backup plan.

 

coming outta school it's there choice. I think walmart hires students now. walmart you have to apply directly to the dc. meaning you have to go to the dc and fill out a drivers application.

 

sorry to hear that. atleast they were honest. I wouldn't apply again. it's a respect thing. you might try stevens transport. there better then celadon.
