I just got off the phone with a recruiter from Driver solutions. Seemed the only way to get in touch with them was to fill out an application. Was real quick to get me off the phone, didn't even take time to answer my questions. Makes me wonder. He said something about USA Truck... anyone hear of them and if so are they ok to work for? .35/mile after one year he said.

bad recruiter?

BTW i went through D.S. too, USA wouldn't be a bad choice for you to start at living in memphis. we have a terminal across the river in W. memphis and run alot of freight across 40 and 55 -
I may have misunderstood him to he was talking a mile a second lol
Did you go to Arkansas State in Newport for the training?
When did you start getting paychecks (and how much if you don't mind me asking)?
My situation is I'm 100% broke and got only about 100 dollars to my name. The recruiter said something about they give you 200 dollars when you get there but that sounds fishy.

the first week out with trainer, it was 350 per week last year, but i heard it went to 400 (may have went back down if they cut back they 1st yr pay too?)
you get the 200 in increments throughout the 3 week school. 1st 50 when you get permit ETC. -
FYI
It is illegal for any recruiter from any school to promise you a job to any company after you graduate.
They may be in a hiring agreement for a company and can refer you to that company, but if you hear the words "you will go to work for Blah Blah Company after you graduate" then get away from that school.
The only time that is legal is if Blah Blah Company trains you, with a contract that states you will work for them after training.
If the recruiter promises you a job after graduation, he is lying. Period.
This advice is just that... for your information. We now return you to your previous topic.

No promises were made. Just with the short phone conversation he said I "shouldn't" have a problem getting prehired by PAM or USA Truck. I will prob get prehires from both just to be on safe side. Even then there is no guarantee and I fully understand that from reading on the forum. I appreciate you looking out for me tho...
