    I'm looking for a driver job in my area. Can anyone help me with this. I'm supposed to start with PTL leaving tomorrow nite. But after all The reviews I've read...I'm just plain scared to try them. I'm only 1 week out of trucking school and I'm really not sure which place to try. I'm not scared of OTR I'm scared of gettin screwed with no lub. Can anyone tell me where to go plz

    You're going to go and start tomorrow night as planned. Why back out now based on some stuff you read on the internet? Go do it and make your own opinion.

    you need experience most companies that hire newbies have some kind of deficiency. get 6 months better a year then a whole slew of companies will be available to you if you have kept your nose clean. By then you will see how the industry works and what you might be interested in

    its not as bad as all that. I have a friend of mine that worked for them for a year and half. Look the only bad thing about PTL is the forced team driving during the training face thats about it.

    There all horror stories. Why go and get stuck away from home in a place that I'll have no way home.

    They will let you drive then keep that card in their back pocket if they need to get rid of you later for whatever reason ...

    When I got my physical...the Dr looked it up and said it was approved. And he gave me my health card. Are you saying nobody will hire me?
