    Tomorrow (08/27/2012) I will be starting orientation with Earl L. Henderson Trucking. I'm starting this thread, and will update as often as I can with both the good and bad about them to help other drivers considering them make an informed decision. If anyone else wishes to contribute too, by all means feel free.
     
    I-80Trucker Thanks this.

    I am going to be a company driver ghettochild. I believe they want you to be a company driver for at least 6 months before doing a lease with them.

    Day one of orientation is done. Today was the usual paperwork, drug test, and physical. The physical also consisted of an agility test in which you were required to pick up a wooden box w/ weights in it and carry it, climb in and out of a truck, bend over and touch your toes, etc. As well as the road test. Trucks are nice, mostly Freightliner Cascadias. For the most part their trucks are 2010 & newer, they do have a few 09's left. They just gained a bunch of new contracts, so they're hiring like crazy. So far everyone I've come in contact with has been very professional, and friendly. Their trucks have APU's, and they will allow inverters as long as you have their shop install it. Probably will get my truck assignment tomorrow, and will have the shop install my inverter and CB. Orientation is 3 days & is unpaid. I'll post more after orientation tomorrow.
