In need of help in deciding what company to go

If you had to take one of them, I would suggest US Express, but you yourself have already made the choice... Home time with good benefits. Your not going to get that great paying job right off the bat, so I would go with what you know is going to work for you.

To answer your other question Averitt has 2 Services centers kind of close to you. Shenandoah and Winchester, and they hire grads right out of class as long as you meet criteria.

 

13 to 14$ is not worth it estes nd other ltl company pay way more than that don't settle for less than 19$ in hour nd forget about the experience required

 

If you got kids I'd stay local. Very few truckers can make OTR work with a family at home.

 

Abilene Motor Express - good reputation.

That local job seems good, but $13-$14 hr. isn't good at all. Most local jobs you stay exhausted trying to beat the clock to get home, rest, and back to work.

Posts #2 & #3 are good suggestions. Post #4 is right if there's a weak link in the marriage; it will come to the forefront with OTR. All my ex-wives can attest to it; I'm neither bragging nor complaining...I love OTR.

 

I wouldn't go over the road, ya kids don't deserve it.

 

Your exactly right these otr companies wil promise you beach front property and you'll wind up with a cot at a sewage plant. Also as others have said being otr will put a massive strain on your relationship with you wife and kids.
If you value those relationships as I'm sure you do I would take the low paying local job and get your experience and move up to a better paying local position.

 

Go local man. Im otr wnd wife rides with me. Id give my left arm to be local right now. Check out Old Dominion.

 

local company how many hours you work good benefits that good but also hometime maybe more important than otr out of werner and western express you'd benefit from us express
