    I heard about this forum from a different source. I just finished CDL school in Houston TX and I'm looking for a starter company. Before making a thread somewhere else, is there a master list of good starter companies? Im 40 and I'm switching to trucking from doing Uber for the last couple of years. Im over it.
     
    Flat Earth Trucker and Chinatown Thank this.

    He did Uber. He wasn’t a roofer. CRE and Western Express are only good fits for those used to being bent over

    That's a good list. There's not a single one that I wouldn't recommend.
