Rusty and "Fresh" out of school - having difficulties

I wouldn't work there, but that's my opinion. Teams do ok though, but I wouldn't go there as a solo driver.

 

Check these:
Sygma Network - food service, driver unload, home several times a week.
Lily Transportation Corp-Harrisburg, PA $62,000 a year - sometimes hires new cdl grads.
NFI Industries - has local/regional/OTR

Reinhart Foodservice - Reinhart will hire and train individuals with less than one year of experience and enter them into our Associate Driver training program. Driver Associates will perform driver duties that will allow them to gain the necessary experience to qualify for a Professional Driver position with Reinhart Foodservice after successfully completing the program.

Schneider - Georgia Pacific account (don't apply for Dollar General Account-backbreaking driver unload.) $6000.00 cdl school tuition reimbursement.
Schneider - Aurora Parts account. $5000.00 sign-on bonus for inexperienced drivers. Must live within 100 miles of Carlisle. $6000.00 cdl school tuition reimbursement. Probably make more money on this account than the Georgia Pacific account due to mulitple stops. Get paid for each stop.

Veriha Trucking - dry van & home weekends.
Wadhams Enterprises - local & regional
Calex Logistics - refrigerated division does lots of California turns. Headquartered in PA.
Abilene Motor Express - dry van, Northeast regional or OTR.
Tyson Foods

 

I don't know why I even want to cross swords with Chinaman regarding reefers and unloading. Maybe times have changed and hell hath frozen over (Pun intended...) to allow no touch meats, produce etc. I just don't know any different with reefer work with one specific exception and that is McKesson for Medicine products in very specialized hauling. I don't know if McKesson maintains any facilities in the east or NE similar to what they do here in Memphis for that work.

 

D.M. Bowman Inc.

• Student Driver Training Program (Truck Driving School Graduates with CDL A License)

• Tuition Reimbursement for Student Drivers and Driver Performance Bonus Programs. Over 85% of Our Drivers Earn the Bonuses

• $1,100 minimum pay per week
  (as long as performance is achieved and have obtained all endorsements)
  • Out 5-6 days - home for approximately 48 hrs.
  • Runs East of the Mississippi River - no west coast driving
  • Up to 3 cents per mile performance bonus

 

Yes, times have changed. Majority of reefer companies don't want the driver unloading or loading.

 

I was a DM Bowman man, once flatbedding out of Frederick and Van Regional South out of Williamsport. They are exacting when it comes to how much you can idle. But you are home every week. Ive been away from them so long that I expect certain improvements that may have been made for them by now.

 

Probably ok for some drivers; not for me though. I like that long haul coast to coast running.

 

When I was with a reefer outfit we sometimes picked up slack for other companies doing the Dollar General accounts and I hated it. Same old crap from store managers, "What's taking you so long to back in; the other drivers don't have any problem." Of course you know they're lying. I didn't do but a few of them though and told the dispatcher to give those loads to the rookies.
