The answer will be the same for any company you choose. If you prove that you are a worker and will do your job the miles and pay will be there.

OOS:

When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.

Looks like a better place to "drive" for than to bend wrenches and bust nuts at lol.........I know, I applied for an opening at their Fontana location, a few years ago, wasn't impressed, and passed on it..........Check their website, they're increasing or updating their fleet, with plenty of options of which sector to drive for them in. And NOW all with satelite tv's NFL etc

Phillip, I started my career at Western Express. I was in their flat bed fleet.

They ran me hard, I always had more to do than I knew how to handle. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there. I probably would still be there except I received a really great offer for a dedicated flat bed job from Knight.

Pastor C is correct. If you go in thete with a great attitude and s strong willingness to "git er done," they will give you a great chance to get your new career underway.

Stevo, I couldn't stand it when I'd have to go to Fontana for my "B" service on my truck. That place barely had any shop space. Half the time the mechanics were out in the parking area under the broiling sun working on the trucks.

Their Terminal in Nashville had a first class maintenance facility though.

Terminal:

A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.
