    Hello everyone. I've been reading these forums for over a week now and I have prehire letter from both of these companies. I hear lots of good and little bad about both. I was wondering what some comparisons might be between the two as I complete CDL school in a month. Pay, equipment, training, miles, time to get new loads, ability to get home. I am new to the industry and this is my first post. Any info would be great. Thanks in advance.

    I dont know much about pride, but I used to rub elbows a lot with TWT drivers. Seems like a solid outfit, small enough to know you by name. They pull a lot of reefer, so its good steady work.
     
    Mann98 Thanks this.

    Look up any threads by TruckerGonnaBe for an idea of what life with TWT can be like.

    Mann98, What did you decide? I started with Pride in March, quit briefly to pursue a local job, then went back to Pride, have been back for 2 months now. Still glad I came back. They treat me very well.
    Thanks

    I got hired on with dot foods/dti. 3000+ miles a week and home every week. Not a bad deal so far.

    Sounds good. I have not heard anything bad about DOT. I get about the same miles, home every other day and my 34 is always at the house. I think if I was to go to another company, it would be DOT or James Clark
     
    Mann98 Thanks this.

    Well the company may be good to work for but some of their drivers are not safe.

    Which company are you talking about? I agree that, that can be said about any and every company out there.
