[QUOTE="pickup, post: 1850010"] Well, for my own curiosity's sake. I googled a bit and I saw that Old dominion does hire guys out of trucking school and then trains them for about a week with a driver(from what I read). A little odd but apparently true. I remember years ago that a company that guys really liked to work for was New Century Freight . The guy who ran it at the time was also the guy who once owned and ran Jevic and the drivers loved working for him. When he sold Jevic, many of those drivers followed him over to New Century once he got that up and running. And for many years, New Century was very very Very selective about who they hired. And they could be, because they had many qualified experienced applicants(word of mouth). So I just assumed Old Dominion would have followed the same pattern. I guess I was wrong. By the way, before anyone reading starts submitting an application for New Century. They went out of business a few years ago. I think a venture capital firm bought out the majority shares and then when there was majority "yes" vote for a teamsters union, they closed their doors pretty much the next day and "poof", end of New Century. They were based in South or Central Jersey(depends where you draw the line) but their trucks were seen over a good portion of the country (east of the Mississip). [/QUOTE]
