    I thought you went AWOL or high-tailed it for Asia.

    I ran Network Fleet and often stayed out 4 months at a time. If you are looking for experience, it is probably as good a place as any. Companies change over time.

    Get 2 years in accident free with no tickets and I can give you a lead on a private fleet that is a much different animal. They even have a location off of 270 and Alum Creek Drive.

    You gotta pay some dues.

    Yea, I’m looking to put in that first year or 2 grind, then move on to greener pastures if there are any.

    What’s the deal with no trainers through them? Just COVID?

    I was told they now require 6 months minimum experience. They are not training. So, I don't know how you are being hired?? Just your yard experience??

    Me and another driver did a week with a trainer then Schneider turned us loose. To some point, you can either drive or you can't.
