Schneider Or Prime???

Hello:

I don't have any experience. I just want to join a company as a new driver that will provide me with good training, decent pay, and if they claim some things, I would like to see them in writing. I am not looking for the perfect company, just a good company. Do you have anythingn in mind???

Hello:

I will send you a private message today. There I will list my e-mail address. Please send me as many companies that you know of that provide training and you think are worth while working for. I always appreciate the advice of guys like you who have a wealth of knowledge behind you. Thanks again, I am looking forward to talking to you soon.

Hello:

Thanks for the information! I will take the NY CDL exam soon. I wanted to take it last week but I had to assist my father in his business. He has poor health so I help him every summer, of course with no pay. So thanks again and one more thing I have to ask you before I go. I have been reading posts on the net specifically, from the truckers report, and I have seen some people saying that Central Refrigerated and Swift are tied to one another. Is that true or are they completely separate companies? Personally, I would never want to work for Swift.
Their reputation is flawed and they have all sorts of problems. From how they treat their drivers to incompetant dispatchers and faulty equipment. So far everyone I have spoken to told me that Swift is terrible and I should stay far away from them. In addition to their poor pay packages as well. As far as Central was concerned I read mixed reviews. Some from disgruntled drivers to happy ones. So like all companies may or may not have problems, but I am sure like all things out there that are work related have some issues to contend with. I know that there are no perfect companies. All I want is to start fresh, work hard, get good pay and hopefully make a career out of trucking.
I left teaching only because the union sucks, the pay sucks and the kids are horrible. To give you an idea about how much I was being paid as a teacher, well I made $1,122 every two weeks. Mind you the benefits were good. I am still covered until the end of this month, but you still have a copay and the prescriptions are still a bit pricey, but nevertheless I had benefits and nothing beats a job that provides its workers with benefits. I am hoping I can make more each week in a year from now than I was making this year as a teacher. Its funny that I went to college, got my BA and MA and this is what I have to look forward too. When I recieved my MA they told me that I got a $50 bonus on my pay check. $50 dollars??? Wow!!! That doesn't even match how much money I put into going to graduate school! It doesn't even pay to bother going to school for all of that time, wasted time to make so little, and have to deal with kids that have the ability to destroy your life if they choose to.
I left on good terms and decided that I needed a new career. I was tired of being in four walls each week. I was tired period! So right now I just want to make the right moves. I am glad though, that by getting the permit I can in fact pay less and bring home more. That is very good. Thanks again.
