I am currently enrolled in the WIA program so that I can become a trucker. They require me to ask the following questions to three people that are in the field. Thank You for doing what you do! America wouldn't be America if it wasn't for truckers. First name and current poisition of driver: company(optional) 1. What are your current job responsibilities/tasks? 2. What skills, certifications, and education are required for this job? 3. What is a typical salary range for an entry lever professional in this field? 4. What challenges will I face knowing that I have no experience in this field? 5. What do you recommend I do to help me get a job in this field? Thank You!
1. Driver 2. Need CDL 3. VERY LOW. Maybe 30k 4. Get thee big truck from point a to point b in the same shape it started. Save 4wheelers lives by avoiding their stupid driving habits. Make side shippers load your truck right. Make sure you'd truck is properly maintained 5. Walk into this with an open mind and low expectations.
1. What are your current job responsibilities/tasks? Drive safely, don't hit things and be on time... 2. What skills, certifications, and education are required for this job? CDL school and license... 3. What is a typical salary range for an entry lever professional in this field? $25-50K 4. What challenges will I face knowing that I have no experience in this field? Knowing how to drive a BIG truck, how to do with people that don't respect you or what you do for them and what it's like to be away from family and loved ones(if applicable)... 5. What do you recommend I do to help me get a job in this field? Desire and the ability to learn as much as you can from this forum and the school you choose to go to...ASK QUESTIONS! Good luck!
I finished the wia program about a month ago. They did not have me do anything like that? I think the program was great! They paid for all of my endorsements also my passport card, my hazmat card, and my twix card. I went with Schneider in the Tanker division, and i'm in training right now. If you have any questions, I'll try to help! Pincrazed1 caljohns@bellsouth.net
They just threw his application away when he answerd, I expect the truck to be properly maintained. LOL
Well nobody else is going to do it that is for sure... and yes I do expect my truck to be properly maintained, even if I have to do the work myself... don't maintain my truck then put another driver in it cause I quit... I may be a new driver, but I am not a stupid one and I stopped bowing to anyone save Our Lord and Savior when I was discharge from the Army... But that was funny hahahah
In California they are making people do it if they want to get the funding. They make you jump through a lot of hoops. I like it because it weeds out the people who don't really want to learn. How long is your training?
My orientation was 10 days. I'm still waiting for a trainer; It's been a week, but I'm still getting paid. I'm suppose to have a personal for 30 days. from everything I've heard and seen, Schnieder goes all the way with on going training; I think thats a good thing.
