S&S Transport

Yes, in Oxford AL. I applied and scheduled to start orientation in Oct

 

Frankly...north dakota is one of best places to go if you dont want rif raf...frankly the folks up there are so laid back, it's a great place..

 

The accent you refer to in movie Fargo is common to Minnesota. Swede and Finn origins same as many in my ‘hood just north of the MN border
Good luck with job, good to see a positive post about employer
2400 miles weekly not too overwhelming

 

Yes S&S was in our top 3. I'm a new CDL holder also looking for my first job. S&S has been great to me. They told us 6 weeks training, doggie and wife OK after solo, They have incab cameras which I'm mixed about. Put my ap in Tuesday. They didn't call me back so I just called and he was real nice but said his insurance would go up too much from an accident I had 2.5 yrs ago. Only ticket in my life was a failure to yield to a guy trying to run the light before it changed. He said to call him back in 6 months when that was off my record. Can't believe that #### accident is gonna screw me up with the good companies. Hope I can get something, cuz I'm working out my notice at my job.

 

I m looking forward to going to Grand Forks in a couple of weeks. S and S personnel have been very professional towards me. Not very often you will here a recruiter offer to pick you up in Canada(Winnipeg) to come to Orientation. Winnipeg is twice as cheap to fly there versus Grand Forks

 

Yeah I had a gut feeling that they were good people and I'd be happy there/ We'll see in 6 months where I'm at. Maybe reapply

 

I agree 100%. I'm not losing my new livelihood for anybody. That's why I didn't let any of the mega carriers do my schooling. I've heard horror stories and didn't want to be under contract with a bad place for a year. I found a really small school. Did the student permit myself. Had one-on-one time in the truck with my trainer and passed my test right off the bat and it cost me 1/5 of the roadmasters of the world. My school is paid for. I don't owe anybody anything and can give my all to the right employer. I've been very fortunate. Have 2 offers from the biggies and working with several other smaller options. I need to get on the road pretty quick because my 2 weeks notice is over this Friday and I need the paycheck.. I'm hoping that I can get a position with one of the smaller ones and hopefully be happy and healthy for years with them but if I have to get my miles with a mega carrier, I'll do what I need to and then find a more permanent position when this accident is 3 years old. All I've got is time and a dream
