How'd that accreditation do for you? Was it worth the $5K? I took a look at the school and wasn't impressed at all. I'm going to the Teamsters Local 251 and after reading your posts about your experience at NETTTS I feel like I'm making the right move. I'm not trying to bust your bubble, but more like I totally feel what you mean about the instructors should have given you more attention and time driving. After attending the school would you recommend NETTTS to anyone that you know or did they fail your expectations? Have you been able to find a decent job afterwards? I hope things are working out for you. Good luck. - Butch |
Hey butch, harleypiper works for an awesome company Superior Carriers(tankers) and is paid very well. I wanted to get into that company but couldn't because I didn't go to Nettts. They only except Newbies from nettts. Why I dont know. Harley went through wia program just like I did and how your going to go through 251. I was upset I couldnt get on with that company(very upset at the time) But I'm glad I got my training at 251 even though it hurt some opportunities. WE PASS THE FIRST TIME. I would recommend the school to people unless they wanted to get into superior carriers as a rookie(you need a great work history,not job hopping past to get in). I hope Harleypiper gives us an update.
Today I hooked up & drove doubles. Friday I'm off to Farmingdale, NY to drop off supplies.Rob |

Rob and Harley,
Thanks for the input, it sounds like you're both doing good. That makes me feel a lot better for my future. I'm really glad that even though you kind of got the shaft at NETTTS you were smart enough to do the most with what you had Harley, way to go Bro. It sounds like you fell into a decent job too Rob. Congrats. I got my approval today and I start school on Monday. I'm going to call Dennis tomorrow and let him know even though I'm sure he got my paper work today sometime. I'm psyched. Rob, you got any tips for when I get there monday? Coffee, donuts, LOL. Really though, do they have lockers or anything for us to keep rain gear, boots and stuff like that in? Keep on truckin' boys...I'll be seeing you on the road in a few month's. - Butch |
Be on time,sign in once you get there. Dennis notices & remembers who's there everyday. As far as rain gear just keep it in your car or put it on the back of your chair. Look to see who is doing the pre trip smoothly and follow them. Dont be shy if you know it step up. The person who pre trips the truck is the one who hooks it up.Best of Luck
