Profile For Serah D.

Hi Brett, Thanks. I did get about 4 points which will help me. Just FYI I will not be training with a company. I am joining a private commercial trucking school May 5 just for the driving part coz I will have my permit with all endorsements except for Hazmat (which I will tackle later), School and Double/Triple (which I will not bother with).

Got it. Thx.

Keep them coming Redgator. You don't know how much this helps (speaking for myself, don't know about others). I certainly have picked a few of your pointers which I didn't know about. Thank you gal. You never know, you might train me next...lol. What is 'Apus'?

Hi, just FYI, tomorrow on the 5pm eastern time news (ABC channel), they have a segment on "truckers and texting". Thought it might be of interest. I will ask for time off work early to come home and see what its all about. Have a good evening y'all.

Very good idea Redgator. Just one question, how much would you reveal about your company on an open forum? Been struggling with some questions, but at times you are not sure if you will offend the recipient, or if they will find the questions abit unorthodox. Which brings me to another question. I start driving school May 5 but on May 3 there is an open day with recruiters from different companies, among them Prime, Stevens, Schneider, Western Express, Werner Enterprises. Obvious questions include pay, benefits, hiring locations, home time etc. What do I really want to know regarding company policies re driving??? One I will ask is about APUs. Anything else????

Daniel B., you couldn't have been more clearer!!!! Thanks.

Will do. Thx.

Thanks Starcar. I did apply thru TT Job Application and got a few replies though I got thoroughly confused. One or two, or is it three companies, both accepted and turned me down at the same time. What gives??? Some of them will be sending recruiters to an open house at the trucking school I will be attending. Hoping to get a job offer then.

Wine Taster,

YOU DID GREAT!!!

Hi all,

One question, maybe two. Will go thru training in NJ and obtain an NJ CDL hopefully before May is over. Am planning on relocating to Indianapolis where my daughter lives immediately after. When I start applying should I request that I be considered for employment in IN? Should I expect any complications? How would you go about it?
