Ozinga

Thanks for the post, KW Cajun. Do you know how much the driver you know who works or worked (is he still there?) for Prairie worked in the summer time or when the season slows to layoffs? I heard they're busy and will work us until at least September.

Thanks!

 

He started with them in August last year (as stated in my prior post). They are considered "busy" now, and summertime should be better, but up to this point he was only seeing about 2 working days per week, so far in past 3 months (since Feb 1st). A lot has to do with seniority number, as newer guys are last on the list.
Hard to predict. Maybe in upcoming weeks it may be better (4 days minimum?).

Did you get on with Prairie? I presume so, by your words. I heard they hired about ~8 (?) new guys this past month or so.

 

I did get on with them. Start orientation next week.

 

Halpin,, Just wondering if you ever got a call back from Ozinga.
I submitted an app to them well over a month ago, and never heard back, even having experience as a mixer driver.
I put bulk tanker as #1 choice and mixer as #2 choice. Wonder if they fulfilled their driver need, already.

 

I did the online app, but never even got a letter. Just a confirmation email shortly after submitting the app.
On the app, I selected Northern IL as first pick, and South region as my second pick, tho it really didn't matter to me.

 

Do they require 1 year OTR experience?

 

I'm going to assume no, it's all local work
