I applied for the driver training program. I was contacted in the same week for an interview. The interview began with a timed administration of the Wonderlic Aptitude test. Twelve minutes and then the interviewer scored it, no indication of how you did. The real interview began after that. Pretty generic questions such as, "How did you hear about this company?" or "What makes you want to drive trucks?" It was mainly an opportunity for the interviewer to tell the applicant what the job entails. First, the good: excellent pay (around $950 a week, after training), and three days off weekly. However, the perks come with a price: the work is done ENTIRELY at night. You pick up your load in the evening, drive all night, and sleep in the afternoons. Also, the driver unloads 100 percent of the freight by hand. It is an extremely grueling job. Just be prepared: it's great money, but make sure you're OK with the demanding labor and difficult hours.
The training program itself consists of an immediate road test to see if you are capable of driving a truck. If you pass, you will be paid at $10 an hour from a temp agency for classroom and truck instruction as well as a ride-along with a driver helper. You will then go on a number of training runs with a trainer, which will be paid around $450 a week. After this, you will be sent out to work alone.
They will not extend an offer until you first obtain a CDL-A permit and a DOT medical clearance.
