R E West Transportation
Topic 26772 | Page 1
Don't know about them but... If they don't have good training or starting pay what do they have going for them that makes you consider them? Pay seems important after that home time, freight types, benefits.
I see on their website they train people to get a CDL , with no contract. Although I have mine my husband is now interested in getting his so we can team. R E West has a hiring ad in my area, just checking here to see if someone had any information to share before I call them next week.
CDL:
Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
- Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
- Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.
I have never heard of them before, but it seems like a good program from what I see on their website.
RE West is nearish to where I live. They haul a ton of hot water heaters out of Ashland City, Tn and most of these are multi stop driver assist unload. As far as I know you will just basically tailgate them. I do know they offer training with no commitment. They run nice looking equipment and there hometime is fairly decent. That is about all I can offer on them. Give them a call I am sure they will be glad to fill you in on details.

Hello,
I finally got my CDL on September 25, 2019. Now researching companies, I have looked at several. Prime, Transport America, Stevens and Schneider. I saw a add for R E West Transportation. Hoping to get someone on this site to provide information about the company. They don't have much as far as pay while training or the starting pay after training.
Thanks in advance
