Finished my training and started running solo OTR last week from Kankakee. Went to Colorado, Michigan, and now on my way to Washington state. So...
Interesting you had different experiences. Both of you are/were based in Kankakee?
That sounds better than what I heard the mega companies do - bring you in to orientation, then send you home because something did not check out....
When a driver applies to Webber, how long does it take from application to hire date? Is that time normal among trucking companies? I'm curious...
Newbtrucker, thanks for your honesty and your advice. You're right, that was not a good training situation. If I am not allowed to drive, back,...
Newbtrucker, how is it going for you? Are you still at Webber? I will finish CDL school soon. Spoke to Mark today in Kankakee. Webber sounds...

So far, Ozark is at the top of my list of companies to apply to, so I have the following questions: Are there many women that drive for Ozark?...
I'm usually up all night, so that will be perfect for me :biggrin_25519:
Bram, do you get paid whenever shippers/receivers detain you? If so, when does the pay start?
Is Webber good about maintaining their equipment?
I am glad all is going well. :smt023 What do you love about this company? What kind of equipment do they have? How was your training? Do they...
Thanks for clearing that up for me.
The image is not showing now, but it was on the bottom of the ticket; said something about ~driver unless otherwise stated~ As I said, newbie...
