Never got any responces on this is that good thing or a bad thing? I'm trying to get back out on the road but already got burned by TransAM I dont want to be burned again. Can anyone reccomend a GOOD company that you can start at as a newbie?

I think they quit taking students a couple years ago, I think they now require min 3 months.......it does seem as the industry is going back to opening many of their training operations.

Live in Falcon's main area of operations (NW PA. Falcon runs all through the Great Lakes area). Know alot of guys that have been through Falcon's doors. Not one of them has anything good, polite, or even only mildly offensive to say about Falcon. I'd keep looking if I were you.

I see these guys pulling double 48' flats on the pike.
They used to run alot of autoparts loads for Chrysler...not sure how that's going with the drop in the auto biz.
I'm sure they took a hit when Chrysler closed down their big stamping plant in Twinsburg, OH recently.
I've heard alot of bad things about Falcon over the years...but if you've got nothing else going it's a job and it can perhaps lead to better things down the road.
And that's the bottom line in this biz: you've gotta have a plan and you've got to start somewhere.
No plan means you'll be hopping back and forth between low-paying coolie outfits from here to eternity.... -
Thanks for the input.
