Transport America is a Good Company to start with!!

I have been driving for Transport America now for 9 months. Starting as a brand new driver, I have had a great experience with them, as well as a couple of friends of mine who has started with them. You get good miles, good starting rate, pay more for driving placarded loads, and very safety conscious! I will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

 

I had gotten my CDL through a school and then went to work for Transport America.

 

They are a trucking company and do not offer CDL courses. I would not recomend taking a course through a company do to the contractual obligations.

 

Im enjoying being OTR. Currently Im OTR/midwest. My loads are mainly East of 35 to the East coast. My average milage weekly is from 2500-3000 while keeping a %100 ontime record.

Dedicated is a little different. Your home every weekenf for 34-48 hours. The account I was on gave me 1500-2000 miles weekly, although it paid a higher rate since it was a placarded account. . all accounts pay differently.

You can generally go dedicated not long after you start as long as you show a willingness to be ontime and safe.

 

Hope this helps you:
