    Wearing glasses shouldn't be. A problem as long as your vision is good. I can give you the phone number to ALEXIS one of recruiters. & she may be able to answer that better for you.. 866-471-6691 ext.116 ALEXIS WEST is her name. Lt her know James M. Moore truck 45024 sent you to talk to her. Real cool lady

    I am a new driver just out of school with a family history in trucking. I have a "questionable" driving record but also wanting to stay as local as possible as I am not interested in the whole OTR thing where you're out for a couple weeks at a time and home for a couple days. West Side Transport is currently on the fence about hiring me because of my driving record and I am awaiting a phone call to let me know what they've decided. IF hired I would be hired for a midwest regional position as I only live an hour from Cedar Rapids and they have a yard in my city where I can park their truck when I'm home over the weekend for my restart. I guess my question is, does anybody have any updated info on this company? Have they worked their sliding pay scale issues out and their safety director? How's the pay (miles?) and the equipment? I know beggars cant be choosers when you have a questionable driving record and no legal experience, but I also have a pretty good idea on what I'm looking for coming from a family of truck drivers and someone who spent alot of time out on the road with dad growing up. Is this company a safe place to get my year experience in before I can move up or should I just keep looking? I welcome any info from somebody who has worked here recently or is currently working here or from somebody currently going through their hiring process. Thanks
