Hey all
Been reading this forums posts for a long time and find them very informative. I have a question for all willing to respond, i need a second opinion and advice.
I am currently taking a refresher course at a trucking school in Minnesota. I have also been looking and calling different companies about jobs when i am through. I have very little driving experience other
than some weekend parttrime work i did 2 years ago and my current refresher course.I am currently in contact with two potential companies to start work for. The first one is a local daycab outfit that would
send me to their school for 6 weeks learning their way and pulling doubles. They want a 2 year committment if i go with them. The second is a local/otr outfit that said as long as i pass my road test i can
start with them. When my refresher is done i am confident i will pass the road test.
My question is should i look towards a company that offers more training or should i jump in and give it my best shot?
I am leaning towards company #2 because it offers exposure to both aspects of driving and no commitment if it doesnt work out.
Dont get me wrong, i am not looking to jump ship, just dont need the added pressure of the commitment.
Hope this makes sense, thanks in advance to all that respond
