Need some info about Con-Way apprentice program.

And tight as hell..haha.. I think it's a lot more than 40 doors though.. I've been there a few times and thought it was like 65'ish..

 

Hey, it's not just a "Polish hood" anymore.. Are you calling me a dumb pollack son?? I grew up with a lot of black kids too son.. I'm still pretty close to a lot of those black kids I grew up with and they say "dun".. I guess it's a Mobb Deep/Nas thing from back in the day right..lol..

I was 50 miles away from the terminal I worked at at one time and did it for over 3 years man.. It's alright so long as you make it in on time and don't bring it to their attention..

 

Haha I was in the same boat as you man. I dont intend to get treated like a slave working OTR for peanuts. No thanks. But yea I looked into Yellow and all their subsidiaries, Estes, Fedex Freight, UPS Freight, NEMF, ABF, New Penn(part of yellow), R+ L Carriers and they all want a yr verifiable experience.

A Duie Pyle has a truck driving academy, and I think they have a terminal somewhere in PA. You could try Pitt Ohio Express as well. they dont have any terminals in northern jersey or NYC, might have some closer to you.

Fedex Freight hires newbies, dont know what the process is like though. Pretty sure you'll be working the dock for a bit though too.

 

Hahaha.. I'm as white as they come kid with my long ### hair and my music.. I remember those ###### kids from Jersey coming over here though.. They got thier ##### handed to them and went home man.. To this day my girl is black and we're always good.. Maybe we'll get married someday but till then we'll just be friends right..

 

best thing to do is get the permit, friend of mine in my class had his permit before getting hired. me and one other guy both had our licenses with the doubles and hazmat endorsements.

usually as an apprentice u will have to work the dock for a month before u start the class. and they may put u on a split shift like i had to do, id go in at 7am work till 1030 then go to class from 11-3, then lunch till 5 then work outbound 5-830 or 9

i have a thread on here about my progress through the class, so n e question read through there, or ask me. questions about the company itself ask jakebrake as he gave me a ton of info i wasnt sure about or ppl i work with didnt no

@jakebrake u didnt grow up too far from me then lol

@century i think u and i have the same personel manager if ur in the brooklyn/queens terminal, mr g right?

 

Yea ACH, Mr G. is correct

 

i dont think they rele care about those tickets, they care about moving violations. i had a few parking/tint/no front license plate/license plate covers tickets and they said they dont care about that. but get ur permit ASAP, they will help u with the endorsements during class if u dont have them, but in order to drive u HAVE to have them. one guy from my class is taking his roadtest, even though he will have his A license, they WILL NOT let him drive till he gets his haz-mat and doubles. I can send u a few practice sites for u. as for haz-mat make sure u study, i studied for 2 weeks, and got one wrong(i was shocked too), but after that u have to get fingerprinted. wen i had my interview i didnt have my hazmat yet, but i showed them the receipt from my fingerprinting, but they werent too concerned as soon as i started my license came in the mail
