Profile For Toro

It has been a couple seasons ago, since I dove tractor trailer, I did drive it for 4 harvest seasons.

I currently have a class A cdl with all the works except hazmat, when I got out of my cdl school, I didn't go directly over the road or to a technical trucking company, I worked for a farmer that that mainly operated using straight trucks, he did have a couple Mack CH613 day cabs, where I'd pulled a hopper trailer during harvest time,

My experience with tractor trailer is limited, but I'm familiar with them.

Hello I am new to trucking, I have a cdl, I have been driving farm trucks, mainly straight truck, I been thinking about going over the road, I am currently talking to Western Express out of Nashville Tennessee, the recruiter I've been talking to, said I would half to take a two day refresher program, which I am fine with, other than I was a little shocked that the refresher is only a two day program, I figured at least a week to knock off any rust, I got leary when he kept saying Western Express has a sliding pay scale, and quoted I'd be averaging anywhere between 1100-1500 dollars a week, if that's legit I am not complaining, but I think it sounds a little high for rookie pay, I've been told to use caution to what a recruiter says, my questions are how far off base is this recruiter sales pitch to me? And is Western Express a decent place to work for? Is the pay not only decent for a rookie, but the paycheck is always when they say, with little errors on it? That way I don't half to worry about things being not shutoff on the family while I am gone.

I know no company is perfect in any profession and it's what one gives it, by keeping your head down, keep doing your job to the t day in and day out, moving forward till the next door opens.

I'm just trying minimize the risk by hopefully clearing up a few smoking mirrors.
