> But it sounds like they are back to accepting new graduates now? At any rate, they seem to modify their recruiting parameters as their needs...
Yeah, I wish they'd change that phrasing on the website. Decker absolutely hires new CDL holders, but they put you with a trainer for two weeks...
Average length of haul will depend on what fleet you're in. I'm in the Midwest Reefer fleet and miles per week hovers around 2200 miles give or...
I already switched over to Decker, but I appreciate the advice. Someone from the account I was working on at Schneider tried to go over to Marten...
I'm convinced they're selling that AI #### (the camera companies, not the trucking companies) to help make "self-driving" trucks. That being...
They don't necessarily charge two grand. If you go through their school to earn your CDL, you agree to stay employed with them for 9 months. If...
Not saying it's the preferred way to do things, but I know a lot of people just don't pay it. It's a third party that tries to collect it and...
Are you okay with LTL? Yellow's Driving Academy doesn't do any team training either (they can't: they run day cabs). And it's offered in a variety...
I guess no, reefer isn't required. I just figured it might pay more and have a higher chance of detention pay, plus the account I'm on now is...
Neither of these fit your desire to be somewhere warmer (sorry!), but I know Halvor and DOT Foods also do not team drive for their OTR training....
I can't verify that it's not teaming, but check with JRayl. They have a lot of locations in and around Ohio, and they also will train you on a...
This is true, just wanted to add that at Schneider's Indianapolis OC they're on a pilot program where student are with a trainer for only 1 week....
Thanks everyone for the responses, I truly appreciate it. After doing a little sleuthing, I think Decker has what I'm looking for; they're not a...
I know, I'm just sussing out my options. They don't even know where I should take the truck yet; I called the maintenance team in Gary and they...
Practically none; three months in the middle of February. That's why I mentioned I still need to put in time at my current company; I can wait for...
I want something other than Freightliners and Internationals. That's what my current company uses and I'm not too impressed with either, although...
I see Continental Express has guaranteed pay on their dedicated accounts. Anyone know anything about them?
Just feeling deflated. Had a load that would of paid $250, then a guy hit my truck while I was parked as he tried to back into the space next to...
Just curious what's out there. A plus if they hire out of Peoria/Bloomington, IL area and have something other than Freightliners or Internationals.
I think it depends on the account. I find I call my DBL more than they contact me. But I'm also on a regional dedicated account and never very far...
