Prehire? Currently in school.. please read?

Trans am is not that picky a guy on here that had a felony charge a few years ago is the now I believe.

 

Take the job, you're fortunate with a DUI that young. Don't do the lease with any company, be a company driver and you will do ok. When they give the lease lecture during orientation, just patiently sit through it, then ignore it and be a company driver.
You're hired if you pass the urine test!

 

Yeah don't lease unless you want to be bankrupt and in a whole mess of stuff.

 

I would say your good, which terminal are you going to? My friend is out of Rockwall, she left Swift about a year ago to go there and loves it because she just does Texas Regional and home two to three days out of the week. She tried to get me on thier and the lady just told me right now they just hired two for Texas Regional but I could keep checking up, then I got a call two hours later saying I lived too far out of Metroplex. I hear the average is $600-$800 a week but if your home in your on bed two to three days out of the week that's not bad starting because they also have apu's and satellite tv I think icebox as well.

 

$600-800, that's only $40k a year.

 

Nobody should lease a truck until they've been a driver for 2 years. What are you going to do if you hate the job? File bankruptcy I guess. It's a stepping stone until you grab the next best branch man.

 

If I had to do it over again I'd take that job at trans am. At least if you sit you can watch some tv. With a 3 year old dui that's going to be your best. Seems to be an ok starting gig. And yes do not lease a truck from a company, save some cash for a few years, raise your credit if you need to and get a truck from a dealership or a bank. Don't get stuck in a 5 year lease from a company that you know nothing about.

And even if you do know about your company after 2 years, you still won't know if they will run you after a truck purchase. You want the freedom to pack up and move with your truck if things get bad, which in most companies always happens after you sign your life for a given time.
