Profile For Glenn H.

Yeah bolt maybe so may even be there at same time. I'm from southwest Arkansas little town called Horatio about 50 miles north of Texarkana.

Thanks errolv i will and thanks to everyone that gave me advice and made me feel welcome. Don't think i been this nervous and excited since i rolled into marine boot camp about 2 a.m. many years ago. So much to do in my personal life to be able to leave for school and when i go on the road but i have my sister close by so she can look after my house going to have to build a fence at her house so she can keep my baby a spoiled rotten black lab lol. So can anyone have any information on the school in Memphis where i will be going

Well just had a good long visit with swift recruiter he listen and answer my question he really made a good impression with me so looks like i will be going to Memphis for school not sure exactly when but late April early May. Now that i made my decision and the reality i am going to do this saying I'm a little nervous would be an understatement. This is a great site those that responded to my post thanks y'all were supportive and really help me.

Yeah you hear bad things about any company out there so you have to figure how much is really a problem with the company or the driver. But being on here reading different post it good to hear other drivers come to the defense of there company when someone talks negative about them. Put a call to my swift recruiter so waiting now for him to return my call. I am going to do this but I'm not rushing into anything this is a life changing move so talking to a recruiter for more than 5 minutes is a must lol. Driver solution guy already has me starting school in April in Springfield and i haven't been on phone with him more than 5 minutes total. Of course haven't signed anything yet and going to try again with him so I'm going to wait and talk to swift see how it goes. I have gotten a lot of good information on here and just wanted to say thanks to TT and everyone that post on here i may not post a lot but i am reading the posts on here every day.

Well all good point from every one thanks. Well i had finally decided on PAM so started trying to talk to driver solution agent. Talk to him twice maybe 5 minutes combined and he sent a mail with all the info about everything. But i told him I'm not in a hurry it would be at least mid April before i did go with them. So when i open the mail there was my name class start date 4/17 in Springfield 5 hours from me and there is a school in N. Little Rock 2.5 hours. Any way where i go to school not the issue just seems this agent is pushing way to hard and it is starting to worry me so now not sure about them. Sent a message that swift and have a appointment to talk to a recruiter there Friday. Also going to talk to driver solution agent Friday so not sure what going to happen. I know these agent need to get trainees in to school but guess we will see. I hope the swift recruiter can be more helpful to me then what i have experience so far

Thanks errol v you made a point about class room time guess it would be kind of hard to learn hos, and planning doing it on the fly that help me a lot. Ok don't mean to upset anyone here that may be from nyc pam does forced dispatch to nyc and have to say I'm older man in my 50's never been there and have no plans to ever go there . again not trying to upset anyone from there so not sure if it is even possible to if i went with pam to have an agreement not to be dispatch their

Yeah wil-trans is about a week class room well actually it's a week getting physical,permit and all then on the road that Friday for certain amount of miles back to school to take cdl test then back on road with trainer for i believe 30,000 miles where pam is more class room plus more up front cost. It's tough decision hopefully i will hear more about these companies. I have been leaning more towards wil-trans from the start of my reviewing different companies but any other information on these companies would be appreciated

Hey thanks yeah i have been looking at all the reviews on different companies on here for a couple weeks now. I mark most off the list not saying anything bad about any of them but looking at all the info i can read I'm down to pam and wil-trans. One offers a little better pay in training than the other which is not a lot of difference but one has has less class room time and more hands on not sure if that is good or bad has smaller class size. I like both companies but am leaning more towards wil-trans i think more that it is a smaller operation and they do not forced dispatch to nyc . then again pam is a much larger company with there headquarters and terminals within a couple hours drive from my home

I am looking into going to a company sponsored school for my cdl. Have been looking at a few like PAM and wil-trans. Live in southwest Arkansas and know pam is based out of here but i keep going back and looking at wil-trans not really sure why except wil-trans more as far as school goes and pay.Can anyone tell me anything they know about these two for someone like myself looking to get into the business .I've read reviews at different sites for both companies and of course you get about 50-50 on both
