Old Dominion Freight Lines - Thomasville, N.C.

Ok, now I'm curious. I'm in CDL school and got pre-hired with Roehl which seems like a good company but this seems better. They say they hire recent grads but will they help me do the double's road skills test and let me work while the hazat background check to goes through? It doesn't make sense for a recent driver to be unemployed while that goes through.

What's their policy for passengers and pets? And if they allow "spouses" how do they define "spouses"?

Also, do you take trucks home with you? Should you live close to a terminal?

Thanks for information.

 

I want to join od but the thing is i get outa school dec.14 they wont take an app till january 1st. I'd really like to have a job by jan 5th no later than 15th. should i wait them out even if i have a job lined up at interstate? I need some good advice Thanks!

 

If OD is offering you a definite job offer I would go with them over Interstate. You are not going to get nearly as many benis or make as much with any of the training co's. Ask IS how often they are going to pick up tab for hotels?
It would be worth the wait for me. Good Luck!

 

they arnt offering me a job thats just it. I wont know anything till probley middle of jan or first of feb. but what if i have another job offer at interstate? I need to get on the road soon so i dont loose my training that i need for the road test and end up with nothing? What would you fellow truckers do in my position? Thanks

 

Well thank you. I think I'm going to try for interstate. I've thought about it and dont feel safe driving d/tripples in the winter for my first year...Or has anyone drove d/tripples for them or for anyone in he winter? are they that much better than interstate?

 

yup i am ---- out of the columbus terminal!

 

condocassano yes i will team with you out of columbus
