I wouldnt apply so early,maybe 2 or 3 weeks prior should suffice.You're applying to a trucking company,not an ivy league school.On a side note,I hope all goes well with school and you get a reputable company. BOL!

i was thinking about halfway through school.

Hey martendrvrca does marten hire students?

Anyone heard of CT transportation?? They have a poster up in our classroom and they advertise southeast regional jobs for students.

If you are trying to get on with Bowman, see if they have any openings at the TSC(Tractor Supply Company) warehouse in Hagerstown. All store delivers.

As for Cowan, never heard anything bad about them(that's a good thing).
