Well, I've decided to go ahead and give Driver Solutions a shot to see what they can do for me. Looks like either P.A.M or USA will be the companies he wants to put me with......Anyone have anything helpful I should know about these two co's.?

3 weeks in Indianapolis can't be THAT bad, right?!?!?!...

It's been a while since I've visited the boards and posted anything on them. I worked at PAM for my year. If you can hang in there for one it's well worth it because after that year the possibilities are endless.

I took a look at USA they look good just low pay. Try looking into Crete or Conway.

to be honest. I don't know about PAM. I knew some USA drivers and we compared a lot as we went to the same truck school. I went to a company that was formerly red but is now white and blue (conway). they went to USA. From what I could tell, after all is said and done. We broke out about even. The key is get your first year in and then go where you want. Lots of promises out there but you won't know until you have experience.

Thanks for the info guys. However, from what I can tell, those two companies do not offer to send you to school. I will have a ton of questions for the recruiter when I speak with him again.....

PM Sheepdancer. He represents many companies and I am reasonably sure he could find a good fit for you.

Start a topic, title hey Sheep I have a question for ya....

Has gotten his attention in the past. Also check the trucking companyies thread. That topic should be there some where. Just post your question there.

Hope that helps. [/quote]

Thanks for the shout back, but can't post or pm as I don't have enough reply posts (I guess)

Also, we have contact info on our COMPANY LISTINGS page. The link is on the orange header at the top of this page. That will give you a company directory.

As far as Sheepdancer, the companies you mentioned you are interested in, as far as I know he is not representing, but I will shoot him a note to let him know you want to get in touch.
