What are some companies that pay for orientation?

If you are looking to jump ship you better get on the phone. Every carrier I talked to before I took my current job paid for both. When in doubt, ask. Ask about everything, then figure on about 80% truth.

 

How did you go from Werner
to western express.
What logic went behind that decision.

Werner is your typical mega.
Western express is below the typical mega.

Nobody has to pay you for orientation
Or for waiting for a trainer.
It's strictly up to the company.

 

Not sure, but I think Western Express doesnt pay you your first paycheck until the end of the third week. Check out Maverick Transportation Little Rock AR. They $600 per week for training, plus $1,000 a week min pay once solo, but you have to work for them 2 years. If you jump ship before then, you will own them 1000's in tuition. They have a great flat bed division along with glass and reefer.

 

My recruiter said they will not pay for orientation in our first conversation. Also in his email he clearly stated “You will do 2 Days of Orientation then you would get on the truck with a trainer that would take you through that Refresher Course. We will be paying for your travel, hotel, and 2 meals a day while you are there. While you are out with a trainer we will be paying a salary of $450 a week. When you are finished with the refresher course you will go out on your own running the Western 11 states”

It is just a few days and they are probably tired of paying people who leave before ever getting on a truck. Good Luck!

 

I left Western Express as I didnt see ANY money from them for more than 35 days. The only paycheck I saw from western was for 13 cents per mile and that check arrived 6 weeks aftter signing on (11582 delivered miles). I had been told by my driver manager that I should see paychecks of at least 800 per week. When the check did arrive there was about $1500 of reasons why they didnt want to pay me. Service calls for broke down equipment and so on.

At least with CR England I saw paychecks of $250 a week when in training.

 

The lesson here is, when you quit western, make sure you have enough to survive on before you actually quit. Also, if a few days without pay is going to ruin you, you were never financially stable.

 

80% truth? Lmfao you mean 80%+ LIES and 20 or less % truth.

Companies I know of that claimed pay as you're asking:
Swift
Roehl
C.R. England
