Looking for a good trucking company

Posted 09.05.2008 at 09.39 AM by bassman69
I am currently in the process of completing a private CDL school in NY. I would like to know some good trucking companies to look at. There is a lot of positive and negative things written in the internet.

So I could really use some help. I was looking into kreikland, wel, maverick, barr nunn, heartland and melton. Any information one these companies or other companies would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You in advance

School starts

OK, it's started! Today will be the third day and we'll be driving today. Tomorrow we plan to be on the road if the huricannes don't hit. All very exciting but the hours are long. Will write more over the weekend when I have time.
