Shipper's Choice (Virginia) and Amazon

amazon just purchased 40 planes to ship freight too.

 

I didn't know Shippers Choice was still in business. I graduated from there in 2004, and thought it was a decent school. I did full time classes Monday thru Friday and graduated in about 4 weeks. Needless to say, I didn't learn an extreme amount, just enough to pass my course and get my CDL. But, thought it was adequate enough.

 

Yup! 4 locations now I believe and much nicer trucks than when I went, TV commercials and the whole thing!

 

Yea, I hear ya on the truck thing lol I drove a 94 I believe wore out and I do mean WORE out volvo lol I'm glad they're still doing well!!

 

good luck with the test. i was just down at chester tuesday taking my test with another school. gotta say shippers A trucks looked nice but i dont know who they got to pass that old vdot B truck they use.

 

Mechanically sound and good looking are two very different things, assuming you talking about the yellow/black dump? That was a paving company that came to fix up the parking lot when I was going there, and they wound up buying the truck, should've slapped a paint job on it.

 

Appearance and mechanical went hand on hand on that thing. Took 5 mins for the guy to start it because the starter wouldn't engage the fly wheel. Tail lights half painted over. Missing marker lights. Could hear the exhaust leaks as it drove by. No way it would pass a state inspection. But like i said there A trucks looked good.
