Need serious advice please

If you dont mind teaming go with us express, if you dont mind reefer go with stevens, if you dont mind slow trucks go with prime.
All the megas are gonna have close to the same issues. Your best bet is to find things that you like and pic which company has the most of those. For example equipment, benefits, home time, idle time, apu, cpm, average miles, what type of freight.

 

did you try Conway??

 

what was your top choice? and how long was the wait?

 

Very good answer. All companies have BS. Just have to figure out who's BS you can put up with. Again who is your first choice? They might be worth waiting for. IMHO only one of those three I would consider is Stevens. But I am sure someone has so horror stories about them too. Just saw your J&R response. Havent heard anything bad about them. You might find they have a waiting list also. The last time I trained was for swift and there were times when trainees had to wait for a trainer to free up too. Mostly for keeping you with a trainer that was out of the terminal that you would run out of when you completed your training. The reason for that was so you could get home when the trainer went home.

Takes some noobs out of school

 

Not everyone gets tested for sleep apnea at Prime. Heck I am 5'11 and about 250lbs and thought I would get tested but they never said a word to me about. As far as training goes if you come in with a CDL just out of school you would have to do about 40,000 miles of training( about 2 months worth). I actually liked that part as a new driver because different things would come up during that time and I learned how to deal with those problems.

 

Us xpress is a very long training program..and i cant say one nice thing about them...stevens on the other hand i heard from a few ,that its a real imformative good training company..good luck..
