I'm a recent graduate of Sage Trucking School out of Binghamton NY. I just had two interviews with willow run and maines.

Anyone work for either of these companies?

Breakdown of info from the companies is identical..

-Maines is set schedule leave Monday nights come back Wednesday morning or afternoon. Head back out Thursday night come home Saturday morning or afternoon. Also you are given food allowance and motel instead of sleeping in the truck. Don't have to work the major holidays not saying xmas night I won't be getting on the road then.

-Willow run is identical but my shifts could start any day and go out two days like maines. You sleep in the truck and work holidays if that holiday lands on your time out. Get paid holidays.

Pay sounds about the same for the two companies and both jobs require you to unload and load into restaurants.l, so physically demanding. Will take time getting used to.

I have found good reviews and bad reviews for both of companies. But seeing how they drive mostly at night I haven't seen of the drivers at truck stops to get opinion and what the interviewer isn't saying.

So if anyone who works for them has opinions to share? Or which company sounds better?

I am in the same situation that Larry was a year ago. Noticed that there were no replies.

Can anyone supply feedback at this time?
