    I got my application approved last week and will be in orientation in a few short weeks. The whole process was easy. Filed out application on my phone. Recruiter called next day. I asked A LOT questions (money based mainly, the year contract and the new cost of tuition if you don't finish). After our talk... got me approved same day with a start date I requested! Now to get back to studying for this permit test. Any info on your experience with the company to look out for is welcomed.

    Just one for example ...

    There are others that talk about what to expect as a driver.

    Great vids @PChase I am one of those people that love TRUE honesty. I'm going to the Tanker division. I've been told of their trainer shortage. My expectations are low, BUT I'm focused nonetheless. I'll keep updating on the process.

    What's up fellas. I have a new start date next month. I wasn't able to start back in June because someone on the recruiting side forgot to... never mind. I will be a Prime drive in a couple weeks. Thx for all your assistance on this. I will keep you updated.

    Why did you choose tankers?

    You still have time to find a MUCH better company! Why do you think it was so easy? They're a sh itty company that will take anyone to drive their slow trucks. Dont be a road hazard from day one, pick a better company while you have the time.

    I always wanted to drive tanker, but most company's wanted 1-2 years of OTR before you could. Otherwise, I would have went flat bed.

    Which company would you suggest? Most people I have contact with says they're good on the company side, but most of issues most have come from the lease side.
