Putting it behind me ~ Hello Pride Transport

Any new info here? I just noticed it hasn't been updated in a while and I was really enjoying it. Hope everything is still going ok.

 

Well,

I am about 6 weeks out from my graduation and I thought I had my company chosen for my externship phase.

But I recently found Pride and have been reading the threads from this post.

Appreciate PHX for the information on his journey with Pride.

Stevens was my number one choice and I have been pre-hired with them,( they want me to commit to them) but I spoke with Pride on Friday and was very encouraged with what Pride told me about training recent graduates.

So I filled out the application and I am hoping to hear some positive news from them soon.

Pride is not a large company but they move through my area quite a lot so my chances of getting home more often is greater.

The folks I spoke with were very pleasant and helpful so I had to re-evaluate my choice of carrier.

In the mean time I will continue to read the threads!!

 

Desert Dog I looked up Pride`s website and they require 1YR otr experience. If they are hiring student drivers let me Know I am about to truck driving school and Pride sounds like a great company to start with

 

If you start with CR England and survive the year, it is easy (so they say) to transfer over to Pride...same family!

 

The website also states that they accept recent graduates. So I called them up and the recruiter told me to fill out an application.
I did that this past weekend so I hope to hear something back soon.

I'll keep you posted!

 

Congratulations on losing the weight and recovering from your "event". I "preach" the benifits of weight loss and quitting smoking to anyone who complains about their companys health policy.
