What companies are actully hiring trainees durin economic crisis?

Hey, best of luck!!! I think you took it so you didnt have to buy dinner next month! Let me know how it goes for you. Don't blame you for going, that seniority and the pension is nothing to let go of if you don't have to. Stay safe...

 

Well, I just left US xpress and I can tell you they want students... Like the other guys say.. pay you less.. ####y miles and hey they make more money... to bad the inexperience can't deliver like the experienced..

I have a question, don't know if this is the right spot or not but i will ask anyway. I am looking at starting CDL school with CFI in Oklahoma next month if everything works out. Anyone give me any info on the company? I am 55 and can't afford to make a mistake now. i was in a bad job for 18 years and will not put up with being lied to again. I know all of them lie but does CFI lie less? I am looking forward to starting a new career and want to hit the highway running not sitting in a truck stop or waiting of loads. Would I be better off going reefer or flatbed or stick with dry van?Thanks really enjoy and get some good info from this site so keep up the good work

 

Excuse me but last time I checked I was not trash! And #### it is so nice to meet someone that did not have to be trained for a new job but hired in knowing everything there was to know.You need to stand up so everyone can clap! First time in history!Jesus needed training but not you.

 

Obviously you haven't read much here . A lot of drivers are waiting 2 or more days between loads and getting under 2,000 miles a week . A lot of others didn't fulfill their 1 year obligation and ended up being billed $3,000 - $5,000 for their training . Leaving wasn't their choice . They got terminated for a minor alleged violation .
I don't understand you saying school with CFI . They were bought out by Conway . Are you ready to wait 5 weeks without pay for a truck after orientation ?

if you're wanting to get in this business running right now you better head on out the door and let the truck catch up with ya...everyone is hurting right now newbies and eexperienced alike.I don't know about alot of companies that hire and train but i know every time i go into one of my terminals the room is full of hopefuls and dreamers check out crst and see what they tell ya.pays not that great but hey its a job for now.
As far as hiring someone with 5 months experience photolup there are companies that do but you will probably have to take a refresheer course before they let you loose.
Hope this all helps
