    Not so much as a complaint but a question. Is Florilli good or bad? I've read several reviews but just don't know, can someone out there advise me one way or the other?

    Thanks,

    Doug

    Okay, but how are they insofaras hiring folks like me with no experience driving tractor-trailers?
    I'm in a Catch 22 situation, I can't get a job because I have no experience, but I can't get experience because no one will hire me without experience.

    You're kidding right??? If you just got out of trucking school just about every large company will hire you. Swift, Werner, Schneider, J. b.. Hunt, CR England, etc. If you had your CDL for a while call and ask which companies have a refresher course.

    Nope, not kidding. Most large companies want to send you OTR, my wife's handicapped and I feel the need to be home nightly.
    But, if OTR is what I've gotta do, she says it's okay with her.
    Actually have an application I put in with Celadon, so if the interview I did today with VDOT doesn't pan out, I'm going OTR with Celadon lease purchase.

    Don't lease whatever you do. There is a thread where a driver using a spread sheet showing you everything you really need to know about leasing. I mean everything! Go to YOU TUBE and put company lease vs. company driver. Its about 22 minutes long and he explains everything while showing you spread sheet so you know what you are up against!

    I'll check it out, thank you sir. So, still go with Celadon, but as a Company Driver, yes?

    Where ever you go be a company driver. I have only been driving for 8 years. I went with Covenant Transport because their trainers were company drivers. If the trainers wanted to continue being trainers you had to pass Covenants driving test at end of training. All other companies at the time had Lease driver trainers and all they cared about was that you drove for 10 hours and made them money. My very first company was CRST. All I did for him was make him money and I never backed the truck once. Then when my training with him was over they had me hook up with another rookie like me to team with. No experience except for driving 10 hours lol. So I left.

    I only watched 11 odd minutes of that Youtube clip, when he got to the part about Road taxes, I'd seen enough. NO lease-purchase for this trucker.
    You got any opinions on Celadon?
