I recently finished up driving school and now I'm having to choose which company to start out with. Currently I have offers from Total, Western Express, PTL, Abilene, Decker and XPO. I would like a little feedback from the community on their thoughts. Thanks for any help you may offer.
Need advice on companies

It's good to get feed back but remember that only you can decide which is best for you. I would say look at the pay, benefits ( how much does the medical and dental cost? and does the medical have 80-20 or is it 70-30.), retirement, type of equipment, how good are the trucks maintained, do you have good dispatch or is it forced, there's more but these are the items you should be looking at. If you find they are all the same then you look at terminal nearest your home, is it easy to get time off, how are the drivers treated, and so on. Be sure to look close and just don't go in there blind.
TequilaSunrise and Concorde Thank this. -

Thanks for the reply. I have been researching all of the companies everyday for the past couple of weeks. I was just wanting a little feedback on others opinions on these companies as I can only research so much. Total is the closest to me of all the companies. Better pay may not be the best as it all comes down to miles driven.

Go with the one that pays the best and has the closest terminal.

Out of the others I would choose Abilene.
I have pulled both refers and dry van and if you have any questions just ask. -
Do you want to go OTR? If not, consider Old Dominion, UPS Freight, ABF, SAIA, Conway, YRC, etc. Look up LTL carriers in your area, often hiring and often hire out of school. Home every day,
