    That's really cool. Do they offer referral rewards? Cuz I'd give you some pocket green, if they do. :biggrin_25525: LST is heavily weighted as my next company of choice. #2 is ATS out of St. Cloud, MN. And that's providing that either hires out of NV. I'm waiting until my 'apprenticeship' with Roehl is over, and my GI Bill monies run out before I go somewhere else.

    Yeah, I believe you get a $1500 sign on bonus plus when you refer people you get $1500. You get $750 of it on your first check, and then the other $750 after 6 months if I recall.

    I'm not going to say anything about ats other than I wasn't thrilled with them. They were going to hire me then as soon as I mentioned Florida it was a no go. The recruiter asked, "we'll we don't hire out of Florida, unless you want to lease a truck with no money down!" I just hung up. Called LST and was set for orientation within two days of submitting my application. I started the 16th of may and I'm already hauling a small, 11' wide set of crew stairs. If you have 6 months of experience with flats you're good to go, if all you have is the year experience but no flat experience you go to Houston for secure meant training for a week. You get paid $150/day for that I do believe. Not sure though.

    It's an awesome company, they treat me like a human being.

    Here's what I'm hauling

    What is the pay scale per mile. Is it .38 to start, .40 after 1st 90 days, .42 after second 90 days. Is there a fuel bonus and I heard the insurance is pretty good. I am scheduled to start in November 2013, just need to finish up some things between now and then. I am tired of hauling crude oil. I am excited about starting my skateboard career.
     
    DrtyDiesel Thanks this.

    If you have no flat experience then yes I believe it's 38(level 99) starting out then 40(level 0) then after another 90 days it goes to 42(level 1).

    Level 2 I believe is 44cpm
    Level 3 is 46cpm
    Level 4 is 50cpm
    Level 5 is 50cpm plus a few extras


    I think that's the scale, I can't remember. Lol
