    They are in the same building as Knight and the hiring process is done with them in Utah

    I need to go out OTR training w/ a trainer, I already have my CDL. They've shutdown their CDL school in phoenix and stopped sending trainees out with trainers.

    The problem with TransAm is, from many posts on here, they tell a new driver that all the available trucks are lease-purchase trucks and if the new driver wants to be a company driver, just wait until one of those trucks become available. Two weeks later; still waiting!

    Their lease program is a crime, by the time that you pay all their ridiculous fees you end up owing them money. I don’t know how people make it work

    All the same, either not hiring out of Washington or not sending people out on trainer's trucks.

    Lynden may let you work the docks for awhile until something opens up.
    Even though you already have a cdl, asking to work the docks will get your foot in the door.
    That will also save Lynden lots of time and money.
    Scroll down on the opening page and you'll see that program.
