    I have been researching & speaking with companies since I started driving school in January. I passed my cdl test 2/20 and I was really feeling a lot of anxiety now that the time was here to buckle down and make a decision where to go. I had received three pre hires from three companies that I was interested in and I felt they were all good starters, but in the end H.O.W was my pick for various reasons that was a good fit for me. I spoke with them today and completed my phone interview, I was asked to come to Alabama for orientation 3/17/15 and I can't hardly wait to get started with them. Everyone I have spoken with from H.O.W has been extremely nice and very helpful and I'm grateful for that. Please if anyone has any helpful suggestions or anything that would be useful please feel free. Thanks!

    Take cheap work gloves and a flashlight.
    If they require steel toed boots, they're cheap at Walmart; get the slip-on type.

    From what I've been able to find out about the company, seems you made a good choice. Congratulations on your new career.
     
    Chaps Thanks this.

    Yeah I have done a lot of research here and other places & all seem to be good especially for a company who hires students.

    Thanks!!

    Good Luck and I hope it works out. Update your experiences unfortunately the big HO Wolding thread has went dormant.

    Heading to Alabama tomorrow for Wolding orientation on Monday. I was told it was me and four others attending. after the week I will head back home and then leave with the trainer when he says. I have everything ready to leave with trainer when he says, I was told I would meet him near where I live. I will pack for a week and wash cloths at the end of the week. Ready to get started!
