My point... you can make very good money after a year or two OTR. If you are smart. If you job hop from Covanent to Swift to Werner to... then you're NOT one of the smart drivers I refer to.
That said... and I have posted this elsewhere... the trucking business as a whole, when talking about the big, corporate driving mills... is as corrupt as the Federal govt. because they are in bed with the Federal govt. Swift receives Fed. grant money for graduating drivers and putting them in seats. They also receive $4000/per student for their "school". And you sign a 2+ year contract to "work off" the $4000 school costs. It's a scam on a nationwide basis.
That said, some bigger companies are now separating themselves from these others... like Knight Transport... they have raised their pay rates, have NO contracts and seem to be doing quite well. That is who I happen to be leaning toward to get back into driving again... as I am in Phx. and the pickings are slim.
That's my story (opinion) and I'm sticker to it...nievesco and rogercausey Thank this. -
Hey inthewindaz that's who I am supposed to be starting with this week. Have to go there this today to turn in my paperwork and then later this week start their refresher course.

Just got done with my first day here in Phoenix for Knight Transp for their refresher course. I have a two yr DOT medical card with my doctor but they said I have to go thru their company doc. What does their company doc do that's different from what my doc did? Anybody got any info on that let me know. Thanks.

It was explained to me that they (companies) look at it the same way as a log book.
You are operating on their medical card.
The guy at concentra said there are people with pockets full of them. -
