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! :)

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).

Are you talking about Coastal Transport? If so, they are a flatbed company that runs from Baltimore down to Florida, get you home weekends and have a decent pay scale. I have not ever drove for them, but I have talked to a recruiter and a few of their drivers, which all seemed happy. Not the greatest company, but not a bad place to start and no north east.

bigpapa7272 08-09-2008 11:31 PM

yeah thats who im talking about that's what their poster says at school. I was thinking about them.

werner is coming tuesday I don't know if I should apply with them or not
