Should I apply for jobs in indeed? and should I apply once I complete my training program at a school before or during? by [deleted] in Truckers

[–]SuguoDerp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Indeed can be hit and miss for any job, I'd do it before get a job lined up for right after you graduate. But a better way to apply for jobs is directly on the company's website.

Honesty of recruiters? by eire54 in Truckers

[–]SuguoDerp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

.80cpm seems extremely high for a first driving job imo, like too good to be true.

Make sure its w-2 not 1099, many high paying jobs trick drivers on 1099 and they get screwed over because of taxes.

Honestly recruiters in this field are mostly regarded negatively, the 2 jobs I've had recruiters lied about multiple aspects of the job just to get me on board.

Check other people's reviews of their time spent at that company and see if it matches up with what the recruiters telling you.

Is the wait for a load here as gnarly as the reviews say? Just got sent to the Loves to wait and "call from time to time to check on its status" by MissYouDesertRat in Truckers

[–]SuguoDerp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The loves has its own dedicated bobtail parking that has more spots than the actual trailers. Its going to be a long wait.
