    All very simular entry level companies.......pick one, put in your time and move on. I would give Covenant a call, as I have heard you are required to train with another student for 6 months after your training period. For me, training with another student driver for 6 months, does not sound very attractive....but each to their own.

    I would look at Prime, If understand correctly you must team drive with a mentor for 6 months after getting your CDL.

    No. 30K miles or 40k miles depending on what program you go to them on. Run hard, you can do that in 8 - 12 weeks.

    Why don't you make a list of your wants and needs and visit those companies websites and decide which one would best suit you. You can ask 1000 drivers and your going to get 1000 different answers.

    If you are looking for team companies like Stevens run newbie teams. You do realize though you will be with a trainer for few months before letting loose on your own right?
