TransAm

Looking for update info on this company. In the alphabetical list I don't even see them listed. However, have noticed a few threads about them but they seem to be more then a year old.

This is one of the companies that Roadmaster (school I'm currently attending) had me put in an app with. According to their website it looks like they are fairly new to the training arena for recent grads fresh out of school. Would like to hear from drivers that have trained out there with this company or trainers that have trained new drivers if possible.

As with all things there is always good and bad I am quite aware. Just looking to get an idea so that I'm better informed from those ahead of me.

Thank you in advance for any and all replies.

 

I did see that thread but it didn't look like anything new on it. I will go ahead and read it.

My husband is a driver and has been for about 5 years now. He did buy a truck while he was with KLLM but 6 months after it was paid for the turbo went out and KLLM would not finance the charge to fix it. They said it was mainly due to the high miles on the truck which I think were over 800,000. And we didn't have $7000 to fix it (the regen went out to at the same time is reason why cost was so high).While he worked for KLLM we put everything we owned into storage and lived on the truck. So, I'm no stranger to the life on the road. The company he works for currently does not offer a training program but do for team driving. I got to get my feet wet first driving the truck before I can switch over where he is at.

There is so much info here about who has good driver training and who doesn't its hard to know who to go with. I hear how good Steven's is but that is where my husband got his start and didn't make much money there. I wrote about all of this when I introduced myself on the welcome thread. So I'll stop there.

Thanks for your info.

 

Thank you gntorres61. Ten days doesn't sound very good at all to get familiar with all the terrain this country has to offer. I've been from coast to coast to coast and everything in between. Have a decent ability to read maps and know not to count on the GPS and even have a great sense of direction. But that is all from the passenger seat of a big rig. Thanks for the info though.

 

I remembered why I didn't read much of that thread when I started it. Not only is it incredibly long it seems to be team members chatting with each other. I'll stick it out though and see how far I can get in the read.

 

Yea, wish hubby never would have quit working for them.
