We had a recruiter from Comcar Industries, Werner, US Express, and I think one more company, can't remember now which one, either came or was supposed to come and cancelled out on us. I applied to 4-5 other companies before deciding on Werner, and they all said, "Oh, OCTech, we've had a few drivers from there in the past, seems to be a good school." Be careful about asking companies if they take drivers from there before you actually go and graduate, bc some of those same companies told me before I went that they had never heard of OCTech, and didn't know if they were accredited, then after I graduated their story changed... I think they were trying to get me to front $2000 for half of tuition at their school and get me hooked in a contract, just my opinion lol. One thing I was told by several veteran drivers is if you sign a contract, make sure it expresses the driver's and company's obligations, in terms of pay, benefits, company policies, etc., and only that, DO NOT sign a contract obligating you to them for any amount of time. Just in case they turn out to be a dirt bag company or you just don't like them, you can get out and find another without worrying about owing any money or having your dac screwed by a p.o.'d company that's bottom of the food chain. Sounded to me like good advice, especially coming from more than one driver, better safe than sorry I figured.
