Advice On Where To Begin

For all those interested, here is an update and the job search. Prime kind of ghosted me, the recruiter contacted me on a Friday, told me she would call back the following Monday. Never got a call. I did send her a message to touch base today, see where it goes. Western Express assigned me a recruiter but I haven't heard from him, via email or phone. I applied to a company called KKW Trucking. They contacted me today. They said it will be dry van , 99% drop and hook , in either the Western 11, the state of California or Southern California, Nevada and Arizona, mainly Phoenix, the decision they say is up to me. So that's where it's at right now.

Have you looked into Witte Bros.? Raider Express? Pride Transport? All out your way, all train. I looked up KKW on SaferWeb. Hmmmm... well, just hmm.

Stevo Reno (on here!) Started out with CRST, and worked 2 plus years, and now drives for New Legends, out your way.

Best of luck, either way! Did not Millis, nor CRST, reach out to you, via: Apply For Paid CDL Training?

Oh yeah; just don't lose the 'endorsement' (or get the restriction, should I say) re; manual, on your CDL. Doesn't matter which you drive!

Hi, Anne! CRST did contact me and asked if I was interested, but I had read some bad reviews on the web and shied away from them. Maybe I should reconsider. I will look into those other carriers. I had never heard of SaferWeb before, I just checked it out. What about KKW's profile caught your eye to make you go 'hmmmm"?

In your new life, it's useful to learn how to form new friends. Start by exploring your new city and meeting people. In the end, don't forget about the people you grew up with and the people who will miss you. At the same time, keep an open mind and heart for the new souls you'll meet as you move on.

Hi, Coger!

Are you a driver, or an aspiring one?!?!?

Welcome to TT, either way!

Howdy again!!!

CRST's only downfall is 'teaming.' Stevo Reno (who's threads I linked) spent 2 years teaming there, and went with a sister (daughter) company (Gardner) for awhile, and is now HAPPY with New Legend(s!)

Another thing about CRST is ... you totally HAVE TO fulfill your contract with them..... nobody else will employ you, without that ...first & foremost. MANY carriers have you sign a 'contract' where you'll work for them until the schooling (and lodging, meals, etc...) is paid back to them, via your employment WITH them. CRST just aggresively pursues it.... if you look in my 'photo gallery' in my profile, you'll see a 'sample' letter.

OTHER than THAT .... look up MillionMiler24 ~ He started with CRST also, and I believe, is still WITH them. He went from homelesness to buying NEW CARS & TRUCKS via CRST!

Here ya go: MillionMiler24's Blog/article(s).

Best wishes, always! Keep on keeping on; apply & ask !

It's BEEN awhile, Fred !!! Any luck, still in pursuit? I've got a few 'less known' (smallER) training companies in my cache, if you are still on the hunt. Two, being Pride Transport and Raider Express. I'm on the other coast, so .. some may not work, for you. I know if you've looked into CFI, but that's another training company, spreading their wings. Knight/Swift is another 'look see' for you; their options have changed, since the merger.

Hoping SOMETHING is working out!

ps: What's that forum you mentioned, that Kearsey is on ? Driver LineUp? I couldn't find it! (Only Golf, haha!) Thanks!

Did you end up going with KKW, hauling mostly furniture? Nothing 'bad' on their profile; just 'touch freight...' if you are up to it!

Wish you'd stop back & let us know, it helps our 'future' drivers!
