The best cdl trucking companies in my opinon based on research

It is hard to get Truckers to agree with what time it is.....Much less what Co. is the best to train with! That being said it seems you have done your research and have about made up your mind. Good luck with whatever Co.you go with.

 

My hubby started with Stevens after getting his CDL through a program in Michigan, I went through Stevens' school after 'riding' for a year and a half with him. I just completed 2 years and our lease is up in December. Overall we have been very happy at Stevens, they just aren't reallt set up for team drivers. Stevens is very safety concious which doesn't always set well with some drivers, but a lot of the 'hand-holding' goes away after your first year. Good Luck wherever you decide to go.

 

Didn't spend a whole lot of time researching,

did you ?



For example,

don't Millis and Roehl offer good training ?


And there are others.

The company you start out with, can/will make you or break you !





research here IS free..........

 

TMC!!!

there are a few complains, but i can find tons of complains about prime. TMC has one of the best training programs. There is no "best company". Some need more home time, some want to make the most money, some care about the truck, some want good training.

 

I called prime the other day and they said they dont do cdl training just after you go to a certified cdl school then you do orientation and go from there thru them

 

you haven't seen low pay, until you get to stevens.......

 

I want to become a truck driver and I am looking for a company that provides training. I applied with Prime because they allow a dui with less than 5 years. Their website says it has to be at least 4 years old if you want to be in their CDL training program. Mine is 4 years and 3 months old. I have been unemployed since last year. They told me I don't qualify because I am not currently working. I have a good work history before I became unemployed. I asked the recruiter, so basically your policy does not allow the hiring of anyone currently unemployed? She said yes. I couldn't believe it!! Is there anyone else that has experienced this? I am stunned that a company will not hire if your currently unemployed. I even told the lady that I had all my unemployment statements to show that I was on unemployment.

 

Ok i am starting trucking school thru mtc out of missouri. I have never driven a tractor officially if driving my brothers rig count lol!!! But i am concerned with a few posts i have read... One being the downside of werner which is one of the companies that may pick me up after graduation. What i want to know is if any one has driven for tmc, hogan, stevens transport, covenant transport or swift???? What are the ups and downs for them?? Theses are the selections i got to choose from along with pam, csrt and crete??? What is the best company to choose if i get to???
