I am looking at these three companies when I retire from my current job. These are located in the Dallas area where I currently live. Are these companies reefer only? I am looking for a company with no touch or minimal touch freight. I would also consider dry van. I have heard that these are all good companies with good training and mentoring from 2 to 3 months before you get your own truck. Stevens seems to be the only one that requires you to leave the truck at an approved location during home time. What are your thoughts on these companies?
Stevens Transport, CR England, or FFE?

I've never heard anything good about Stevens or CRE. I went through FFE's driving school. It's definitely better than the CDL mills, but it's very accelerated and can be tough if you're not able to pick up on this quickly.
I ended up getting my CDL on my own and joining Maverick. They're the only ones that pay a decent starting wage. They don't have any facilities in DFW, but I live in Fort Worth, so we do get though there.Marky84 Thanks this. -
I've also heard that Stevens and CRE are pretty serious about pushing leases. I just want to drive for the company for my year or two and not get into leasing.

avoid CRE. trucker buddy of mine said forget stevens. dunno much about FFE
-
My only issue with FFE was the starting wage of .26 per mile. Just way too low. Maverick started me at .35 and now that I've been here a year I'm at .42.
