Profile For WhaDo

Hello! My name is Jonah, I live in San Diego, CA - born and raised. Back in 2016 a friend of mine convinced me to get my CDL, and I did some research into a few schools - this led me to CR England. Everything was going good, I passed everything turned in all the paperwork and obtained my permit. A month later I still had not received my CDL, I talked to CR England and I was told there was a problem, but would not be given an exact reason. I attempted to stay for a few days and still no word on my CDL, so I packed up and quit. I was employed (according to their records) with CR England for 3 months.

As soon as I returned home, I called the DMV & CR England to figure out what was going on, I stayed on top of this for 2-3 months and still no luck. All I could find out was there was an error on my paperwork, and it was up to the school to clarify, the DMV would not give me any additional information. So I let it be, and moved on with my career in Security.

About 3 months ago, I was let go from the Security job I had at the time, and once again my friend suggested I look into my CDL issue. After about a month of talking to DMV / CR England, I finally figured out what happened, corrected it, and as of yesterday I have my Temp License.

So I am trying to go through and do more research and pick a company to start with again, however I am having issues finding a "starting company" that people actually LIKE.

My Experience: 2016 - 3 months 11 Western States (CR England) 2017 - Zero 2018 - Zero (so far).

I do not need to go back to school, as I have my CDL already, however I do need a place that is going to offer retraining / refresher. My major concern right now is backing & pre-trip, everything else I remember. I would prefer to stay 11 Western Regional, however I am open to going OTR if its teams.

\\These are the companies I am currently looking into// PRIME Inc Jim Polmer Wil-Trans SWIFT Knight Trans CRST Schneider KLLM KKW Werner Watkins-Shepard MTC Eagle Trans CFI James H. Clark & Son Covenant

\\These Are The Questions I Plan On Asking// Do You Hire From CA? Minimum Requirements? Do You Offer Refresher? What Divisions Do You Have? Coast to Coast OTR Required Before Regional? % of No Touch, Drop & Hook, Live Load? Rider Policy? Pet Policy? Pay Per Mile? Avg Miles Per Week? Transportation Paid? (Orientation / Refresher) Lodging Paid? (Orientation / Refresher) Pay During Refresher / Training ? Out / Home Time? Forced Loads? Sick Policy? Weather Policy? Truck Models & Year? APU? Inverter? CB Radio Allowed? How Long Is Refresher / Training / Orientation? How Long After Being Hired Until First Pay? Dispatched As Solo or Team During Refresher / Training? Manual or Auto? Upfront Costs?

Any tips or suggestions? Thanks!
