Your going with SNI, thats a good chioce even if you have to team drive. Did SNI tell you they want you to team drive out of Fontana? Did you agree? What about if you relocate to another SNI area will you still have to drive team?
I was going to go back to CA sign up with them there, do their dance then try to relocate.
Any way have fun. It'll be a new adventure. -
That type of timeframe would be great. The idea of being stuck in a truck with a trainer for the 4-8 weeks most training companies seem to require just does not appeal to me.
How regular is your time at home on the dedicated route? Also, how far away do you live from the route? Thanks.... -
So I dunno...it was probably more like 4-5 weeks when all was said and done. From day 1 to the time I was done with OTR training, it was 3 weeks. Then it took a while for final testing and the CDL test.
However, keep in mind that my route is rare...in terms of what I do. Many dedicated accounts...you can criss cross all over the place and not have a set run. My run is set in stone for the most part. There have been times where I have delivered at other stops as well, but that is very rare:
*the team bringing me my freight delivers to the stops in my town, but once they broke down outside of town and I picked up their freight and did their stops for them.razorbacker Thanks this. -

Thanks. -
Id say to use that friends address, take a day or whatever and go to CA to take the permit test and get it...apply and see what happens.
You can relocate, but I think its after 90 days in their current run. I dont understand why they arent hiring out of AZ, especially Phoenix.
According to their openings PDF, they are hiring for Sears and Wal Mart dedicated runs out of Fontana. I know for a fact that the WM is new...not sure how good of a position it is. -
It's good to hear someone say things are slowing down enough to effect driver hiring. Since I signed up hear on May 1st that what is was attemting to find out. I seem as if people didn't want to 'go there.'
On the subject of of SNI hiring in AZ. If one goes to the SNI website and checks their hiring area for AZ it shows they don't hire in the area. When I talked with the rep she said we don't hire in the AZ area. This is when I asked if I move to Riverside would they take me in training, she said yes but we only do team hiriing out of Fontana.
Thanks
Update: Last night I went to the SNI and they're now doing some hiring in AZ. I'll call to find out more.Last edited: Aug 20, 2008

Well either way, you could team and if it doesnt work out, after however many days I mentioned before, you could switch to another board or something. I mean, I don't think they are going to can you if you decide teaming isnt right for you...dont think they would make you sign something saying youd stay as a team for x time frame either. who knows -
Thanks I may give it a shot because of your helpful info. I would rater train with them and get the good training and get it over with, than drive for some outfit that pretends to train you when all their really doing is using you as a team driver.
