Hi all hope this find ya'll well, I was recently very enthusiastic about going to Swift for training dancing.gif ........laugh if you want but I like the communication with the recruiter I talked to.....But now I have found a company(local) that will hire recent grads, So I am thinking of going to CDS (private school) in Va. After a 8 week paid training with this company the options are: 100% no-touch 90% drop and hook......Home daily is one option, home weekends gone Mon thru Fri is another hauling beer for anheuser bush....the company is NIF never heard of them........Can anyone maybe tell me anything about them? This would be a better option for me due to being able to come home a lot more often than if I were to do the OTR thing.......I know ya'lls time is money and I thank you in advance for any advise. ( If it sounds to good to be true often times it is ) I am hoping someone on TT knows something about them I do know they are out of NJ. Thanks again smile.gif

OTR:

Over The Road

OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.

Drop And Hook:

Drop and hook means the driver will drop one trailer and hook to another one.

In order to speed up the pickup and delivery process a driver may be instructed to drop their empty trailer and hook to one that is already loaded, or drop their loaded trailer and hook to one that is already empty. That way the driver will not have to wait for a trailer to be loaded or unloaded.

No problem. We don't have grammar police here. I just wanted to make sure we had the right company.

I don't know much about the company other than seeing a lot of their trucks out on the road. Hopefully someone else will have some details for you.

They offer $1000 a week before taxes home daily or $1200 to $1600 home weekends.....according to Craigslist but you cant always believe everything you read..........I plan on contacting them Monday and see if they will "put it writing" or at least confirm what is on Craigslist

I have never heard anything negative about them which must mean something.
