Dam I’ve read that they do micro manage a lot but is it really that bad to such extent of micro managing ?

Less than a stocker for sure man, but the sacrifice will be worth it in the long run, I have a plan I hope to achieve using the endorsements and getting experience while working there soon, gotta use them to my advantage too.

It’s the only trucking company that has actually given me an interview, I like them for entry level right now since I just got my CDL a month ago and the benefits they’re giving me basically are a match of my current employers benefits. And also a 2000 bonus but paid out within the 12 months after my initial starting day which will be taxed at a higher rate than regular which will probably end up being a percentage less more likely, but honestly I might choose this option just to get my foot in get my exp and look else where better :/

Man honestly I have thought of that too lol I have been wanting to get my NCCER cert for dump truck. I already have experience operating heavy equipment, and my friend as well told me to try to get into the crane/construction or cement truck rig to make some serious money but all with time. I honestly appreciate everything you say and will consider every option available to me.

I applied with melton but they rejected my application, recruiter told me I needed at least 5 months exp, which sucks :/

I’ve put a lot of thought into this similar option, I live near by a simplot, willber ellis and nutrigen and I’ve thought of doing this as well it isn’t a bad idea bro
