Any Experiences With Pride Transport?

Also waiting to hear more about Pride from you Barry. I'm two weeks from start of school, about six weeks from looking to hire on, and am liking a lot of what I am hearing about Pride. When you get the time, please let us know how things are going Barry.

Justin -

I just moved to UT last week from San Diego. I stopped over at Pride and met with the recruiter I've been in contact with for the last couple months. This is my 1st choice company, their equip. is in great shape and the staff seem to be "down to earth." They have also pre-approved my staffie-mix.

I also met with a driver, from another forum, who has been with the company for 7 months. He gave me the low-down on his experiences with Pride and though he has had some minor things to deal with (as with any employer) he is satisfied (other than the mileage pay). But for someone like me who will just be coming in the pay will work for me.

What skewl do you intend on attending and where?

I'll be starting at Southwest Truck Driver Training ( http://www.swtdt.com ) on April 11th, at the Phoenix, AZ campus.

Hello everyone. I am about 60 hours from completion of my training. I can't compare Pride to other companies but I will try and address some things that I feel are important and good indicators.

Freight With rare exception we are given our next load early on during our current dispatch and sometimes we are a couple steps ahead.

Time off As a driver it is my responsibility to let my DM 2 weeks Ahead of time when I want home time. Home time accrues at 1 day off for every day worked. I choose how often and for what duration I use it.

My wife recently had surgery and I asked for time off to be with her. The only questions asked were; how much time do you want? And when? Dispatches were arranged to get me home and then to get me picked up.

Quality of training The training so far has been very well organized and presented. There is a skills evaluation at the end of each phase. If you pass you move on. If you need more time so be it. For me my confidence and ability have progressed right in line with the suggested timeline.

Equipment and facilities As I stated earlier their equipment Is all quite new and impeccably maintained. The terminal in Salt Lake City has undergone a recent remodel and features a very nice drivers lounge with pool table, ping pong, work out equipment, free laundry facilities, vending machines.......

I am so far very impressed and quite confident that I have chosen a good employer. I feel very much at home here.

Barry - next time you are in SLC/Ogden area and/or at the terminal give me a hollar and we'll meet up.
