    They don't do the 30 day school anymore.

    10 Day orientation is in Missoula and Conover. Depends on which side of the country you are on.

    Can anyone give me the lay of the land at this facility. Is there stores near by and where we would stay for training? I will be going there on the first week of Feb, 2012.
    Thanks

    And they start @ $.25 a mile and $20 a stop, weather you unload a lamp or the whole truck.

    Sounds like a good company to start with. I talked to a recruiter last week and submitted an application but have not heard anything back. Did it take long for you to get an affirmative response for hiring? I plan on starting US truck driver school on Jan 9th.

    nope, just call recruiteing and ask about your application status, the holiday probably messed things up in the office

    You gotta call them every day,don't forget they may get 100's of apps a day and they may not look at all of them.Call them at lease once a day until you get a hold of someone.Now with Christmas and new year's coming they may be out of the office till the new year.
