I did end up speaking with Brian. Seems like a straight shooter what he knew he told me what he didn’t specifically about that regional job he admitted he didn’t. My top 3 choices right now are Britton, Magnum, and S&S. Glad I’m reaching out early so I have time to think about the pros and cons of each. Only thing was seems kind of odd training is in Alabama but I’m sure it just works better logistically. Just personally would prefer training on routes I’d be running. However that’s not really a negative in the big picture .

They just started training in Anniston. I live 15 miles from the Anniston yard. It is kind of weird training in Anniston if you re planning on Midwest regional. But, they do have some weird ways about them at times.
As far as Magnum vs Britton vs S&S;
Trucks: S&S Kenworths and Cascadias 67mph. Cascadias can do 70mph for an hour a day. In and out of Canada frequently
Britton: Cascadias and Volvos 65 mph. In and out of Canada as well since they re owned by Bison Transport
Magnum: Peterbilts and Cascadias 64 mph. Not sure if they go in to Canada, but they are in Grand Forks alot and have delivered to our yard a few times
With experience, I think S&S regional is .48/mi and pay raise every 126,000 milesRampageGNS Thanks this. -

The biggest things they monitor with the camera is coming to a complete stop, following distance, and obeying speed limits. If you can obey those, they leave you aloneRampageGNS Thanks this. -

You must communicate with current drivers at any company before working there if you want mostly accurate info. No amount of online anything will give you enough info otherwise. You can accidentally stumble into a good job, but online info is very close to useless info. Recruiter info is even closer to useless. The longer their drivers have been at the company the better the company. Big name trucking companies can barely keep any drivers 1 full year.
