Profile For Marc

My BP was a good bit over the line when I went to take my physical, but a couple days before I took it I started taking cinnamon, garlic, and baby aspirin. That coupled with a little meditation during the fact and I came out 1 point below the limit

My instructor was also a third party examiner. After passing, and paying for the test (50$), I had to wait a day then went to the dmv and got my license. a paper copy until I get the real one in the mail. I paid 20 dollars at the dmv. I also got all my endorsements knocked out while I was there and didn't have to pay extra.

That. Same way here in GA

Got a call today from my #1 choice (Benny Whitehead Inc.) Things just got interesting lol

Thanks Kurt, that's pretty much exactly what I wanted to know! I don't really need a television, just my laptop and some wifi and I'll be good to go

So I leave next week for orientation in Atlanta for Schneider. Pretty excited! Does anyone know what model of truck they use for the training portion? I know they run mostly Freightliner but do the trainer's trucks have double bunks? Also, does anyone know what type of customization they allow once you're assigned your truck. Televisions (do they come with one?), microwaves, that type of stuff

Schneider orientation next week! Woohoo!

Been driving for Schneider over a year now. I don't know how work history will be handled, but I couldn't have started with a better company and I don't plan on leaving anytime soon.

Good luck.

I've learned to ignore the negative things I hear about companies :) I got a call from Schneider today, and have a phone interview tomorrow with them. I'm really hoping this all works out, because they're the most local company I've come across yet. No having to drive 5 states away for orientation!

Wow, Old School! First off, let me say thank you. You've really changed the way I look at some things. And you're totally right about the companies. I did say it in a disparaging way, but mostly because I was disappointed in myself that the ones I wanted rejected me (TMC, Benny Whitehead, Crete). I'm going to do some more researched on the companies I listed, and then start shooting out applications. Thank you so much for changing my view on it. I don't read internet reviews of companies because, well you already said why, but certain names do get thrown around whether you want to hear about it or not. I'll let you guys know how it goes! I'm also going to start studying for endorsements, I guess :)

Before I begin, I've already read through the company reviews page. It doesn't quite give me what I want to know in this case. I graduated school and got my license last week (Class A CDL), and am now looking for jobs. The problem is that I don't have a stable work history, and not much of one at all in the last 5 years. This means all of my top picks are turning me down, so I'm having to dig a little deeper into the barrel. Can anyone offer some advice or maybe more info on what it's like to work at some of these companies? I'm currently looking at Swift, Schneider, J.B. Hunt, Werner, companies like that.

Thanks in advance!
