RI is on the list, Apply for all of them. When the TM gives you a opportunity, run with it.

You are welcome future brother, screw that 29 cent a mile crap. Depending on the Terminal ( areas vary ) Mine hires with no experience, But no one applies

 

At least look into it, Edited my above post. My TM would LOVE a fresh noob from CDL school. Mold them through the company. Don't be put off from the ugly green and yellow and gray outdated equipment . The pay is fair and benefits is great, Vacation sucks. lol

Very laid back company. HQ in arkansas is easy to talk with. HR L.Pitts and her boss is very understanding.


Forewarned, It's going to take at least 1 month to get the ball rolling, could take up to 3 months until your on the job, then ( 90 working days my AO ) to get into the union.

They are going to do a very intense background check. On your part, expect to do some legwork and verify employers you forgot about.
