    They don't have West Coast Orientation but they have tons of West Coast drivers. Seems like every other driver I meet at the yard is from California. I don't drive OTR for them so I don't know much about that. I know they are looking for drivers and they will try to con you into doing lease-purchase. They have been trading a lot of trucks in. Pretty soon all company trucks will be Cascadia's 09 or newer. Any older trucks will be lease operators who decide to keep them.

    Appreciate this thread. I just hired on with Henderson and will be going to orientation in the next week or so. I'm from San Francisco and recruiter said I will be going to Evanston, IL for orientation. Do they hold orientations on the West Coast?...Ooops, just read that they have no West Coast orientations. Can anyone tell me how the pet policy works? I have a pitbull that has ridden with me since she was 4 mos old, that's her in the photo. She weighs in at about 75 lbs. in case there's a weight restriction. I know some companies limit pets to 25 lbs. max.

    You aren't going to Evanston IL for orientation, unless this is a different Henderson than the thread is about. Their terminals are Caseyville, IL and Salem, IL neither of them is near Evanston. You will do orientation in Caseyville (metro eat St Louis). They are phasing out the Salem yard all together slowly.

    Pet policy is you have to pay a deposit (not sure how much). I'm pretty sure they'll take it out of your check so much at a time till it's all in. I know there are others who have pit bulls so that won't be an issue.

    Any other questions let me know.

    Orientation is held in Caseyville, IL right outside of St. Louis.

    Pet Policy is $300.00, taken out in $100.00 increments until paid. $250.- of that is refundable, unless you have damages. The other $50.00 they keep for cleaning. This is a one time fee, even if you move trucks.

    I have been here over 3 years and am in my fourth truck now, this time a brand new 2012 Cascadia. I don't care for the truck, but oh well, no choice as a company driver. I had the choice for my new truck, but they were all the same year. So I picked the color I like.

    Sounds like they went through a rough patch around 08-09ish based on the few threads I've been reading. How are things now? I'm getting ready to head to orientation Nov 26th.
