New to the trucking world and a little overwelmed. Recieved my CDL 9/28/12 & making every effort to find gainful employment, had a great opertunity working at the port (northern west coast ) TWIC card in hand went down and was picked up by day driver who filled me in on time sheets, scale operation and so on. The truck was dual axle with a split 8 speed with a 40 ft dump trailer. I trained on a single axle 10 speed Sterling. A little overwhelming but doable, man what a pain parking that thing anyway, I digress, the next morning I was going in early to get some tips on downshifting from the dayshift guy who was great all along and got a call from dayshift guy who told me to call the owner so I did. Seems the owners brother in law was just laid off and that he was going to fill my position with him. Well if that just didnt toast my chestnuts! So I'm now back on the hunt. HmrTime2
I applied with May Trucking this morning, next Schnider. Do you have any suggestions? I'm located in the Portland area. Thanks for the suggestions rocky will continue to follow thru HmrTime2
HmrTime2 what have you heard about Schneider. I have an offer from them, but I don't know much about the company.
Hey nance, I only know what I've read on this site. I hear good and bad, I think is all to be taken with a grain of salt. Check out the threads about good companys, there is some interesting infomation to be gleaned. I'm a noob without a job and trying my best to find one, anyhoo take care and good luck! HmrTime2
