I'm looking for a company to work for that will send you to school. The two I like are Pam and Celadon. Does anyone know if they are good to work for?

Drove for Pam trans in 2004 good company to start with.

When I frist started shifting I was what they say making hamburgers because I was grinding gears,but I got the hang of it.You can too.

After ten years out of the truck Im ready to drive for a company again but some companies want me to go out with a trainer again and that is my fear now,I don't think I can trust anybodys driving while I'm sleeping in the back.Is there anything I can do to overcome my fears.

Whats the best way to get back in trucking after being out of it for 11 years

Is there away I can break c r England contract .. Help ...please

I broke mine and still getting approved to work for companies,and just remember companies are desperate for drivers in 2016.

I would like to drive a truck again,but can anyone tell me why nowadays it seems to be a lot of accidents involving trucks,is it the computer logs that's causing it,because when I drove we used paper logs.Don't know much about the elogs can anyone tell me the difference between the two. Thanks

Hey ya'll. KLLM/FFE does have 2 schools. Lancaster terminal for FFE and Jackson for KLLM. I didn't go through them but hear great things from graduates. They offer the lease program after training but it is completly up to the person. They don't push one way or the other to my knowledge. But I'm tucked away out of Portage and stay away from the main stream as much as possible. lol

I've been accepted to go to their five day refresher course at Prairie State College in Chicago Heights,then to their Jackson Mississippi terminal for training,hope everything goes well.

I've written a new article entitled Is Trucking Worth It Anymore? where I discuss my opinion on today's trucking industry and whether or not a career in trucking is worth doing any longer.

Every one of us has a different personality. We live under different circumstances and have different life goals. Some people want adventure and travel, others want a quiet life at home with family and friends. There are a ton of jobs to choose from, but in the end trucking isn't the answer for most people.

If you're an experienced driver, what advice would you give people considering a career in trucking?

If you're considering a career in trucking or you haven't begun just yet, what are the major factors in making your decision?

A Truckdriver said he heard a pop and then his trailer started swirling from side to side and he lost control and crashed into a concrete barrier the truck went up in flames killing the other driver that was in the bunk,my question is this can a tire blowout on a trailer cause this terrible accident?

This is such a tough decisions for so many people. I'd love to hear what it came down to for you and how you feel about the industry today.

Thank you Old School. I Took this as a positive message for us rookies who sometimes question ourselves yet persevere. Have a great day!

Thanks old school

Old School,

I'm getting back in the industry and I did my homework,to me they fit me,I'm all in.

Thanks for the reply. I meant to say that I have my CDL and what they offer is a refresher course at no cost. Sorry for the confusion.

As I had said, I have not heard too much about them and do not want to get caught up in the *****ing and whining of those negative comment boards out there where it seems every company is evil and to be avoided.

Safe trucking!~
