Truck Driving Jobs

Hey guys and gals,

I am looking at going to work for A Passmore out of Ok. They seem to have a good program for a newbie. I know flatbed is not for the new guys. I'm capable of the job, just wondering if anyone knows anything about them good or bad. Have searched and could not find any info on them.

Thanks for your help!!

Their website states that you need 3 yrs OTR experience plus 6 mos flatbed experience. Doesn't sound like a newbie company to me unless they have changed their requirements.

They are hiring students, Jim Passmore does not own the company no more he is the general manager, sold out to Prime a few months back. So yes they are hiring more students then they ever have. It's Prime Time at Passmore. Good Luck, might be a place to start and get the experince and move on and up.

while i was at TMC, i ran into and with Passmore drivers all the time. the two companies load at a lot of the same places. all the drivers seemed pretty content. the trucks will run and i think they have pikepass and prepass. so no tolls. I have applied and 10-15 minutes later they called me back so i may be starting with them next week.

Yeah, I also applied and the lady called me back pretty quick asking if I could start on Monday. She still has to check everything out though. Not sure if my straight trucking over the past couple of years will hurt my chances of getting hired, but both ladies I talked to didn't make a big deal about it so who knows? Still waiting for her to call me back.

What, maybe faster then what you are driving now, but I wouldn't say 68 on the foot and 70 on the cruise is a truck that will run. And the top two gears on the 9 speed are automatic, they shift when the computer tells it to not when you want to. But it gets good fuel mileage that way but you are kinda like Swift in traffic except your in a big Peter Car. :lol:

Was hired today. Start orientation Monday, in a truck by Wednesday, home on Friday. Good enough. I hate being rushed though. I really didn't even know much about Passmore before all this. At least I can finally get rolling again instead of waiting God-only-knows how many weeks before Maverick gets back to me. :roll: I know they loaded and delivered at a lot of the same places I went to with TMC. Really nice equipment and drivers that seem to have a clue. I'm leary of small companies as I've been screwed over more than once. I'm looking forward to it though. We'll see how it turns out. 8)

Well, they got big CAT's in 'em. Maybe they'll run a bit. Don't know if they're governed. Don't guess it really matters too much as I don't want another ticket any time soon. I want to keep my nose clean. Hopefully they can pull up them d*mn hills a little better than those 60-series Detroits. :roll:
