Gordon trucks at Willis Shaw??

I have been accepted to work for cargo express, I have been doing some research and cant find much at all online about them, but their pay is comparable to may and gordon, but they also offer bonuses, which the other two have suspended for the time being. Is there any reason I should stay away from cargo express?

 

There was a ad on Boise craigs list not long ago that was none to good. I think it was posted here, if you do a search of this forum you might find it.
Good luck.
If you do go with them you might start a thread and let us know how it goes for you.

 

You would be better off to go to BSU for trucking school, but I went to Sage 2 years ago. Sage only teaches you enough to pass the state CDL road test. But you don't seem to get enough wheel time, in my opinion anyway, before you are set loose to find a job.

 

I'm going to the BSU school, it is now called the CWI trucking school and I like it a lot. We spent 3 weeks in the class room and will start in the trucks next week. We spend 6 weeks in the trucks and in our class we will have 3 to a truck. So driving time should not be a problem. All of the students in my class have passed their written test and have got their permits. So far so good.
If you are on unemployment there is a program called WIA, at least I think thats the name. The program will pay for your school if you jump though a few hoops. A few guys in my class got it and it sounds like a great deal.
Good luck

 

i have some experience, i have been driving on a permit for a while, drove for prime and then did some side work with my uncle driving, I wanted to just test out privatley for my cdl using my uncles truck, but i have found that nobody wants to hire someone who self tests, so now I have to make a decision. I saw the ad on craigslist about cargo express, but its always hard to tell, people like to post bad things, who knows maybe he had a bad experience or false expecatations, but i would like to talk to someone who does or has worked there recently.

 

I have looked long and hard at schools and Sage seems to be good for me. They are PTDI certified and that helps out getting hired. I am going in January, then try to get on w/ either W/S, GTI, Prime, or May. I have also heard bad things about Cargo Express.
I really want to get a good trainer as they can destroy one's career before it starts. I've been in the construction trade for 26 years and it's time to change.
I noticed that you've been driving a couple years, how's your experience going??? I apprieciate your advice. Your Co. hiring hard working rookies??or train??? Thanks
