    Hello people my name is Marcus i am 22yrs old i recently just graduated from Southwestern truck driving school here in phx, AZ . like 2 weeks ago:biggrin_25525:.. i have been looking around for some local class A and B jobs here in the phoenix area but they all want experience, so i'm thinking about going otr or driving Regional... I have contacted some companies online and filled out my info online.. So far western express called me and Warner, SO yeah i am also looking at Gordan trucking, and i also applied for Conway freight. Western express wants me to do otr flatbed for them, but i am not sure about that... :biggrin_2554: anyways i refuse to start with Cr england, swift, prime, and crappy pay companies.. so Yeah what do you guys think i should do? any advice. ON SOME MORE COMPANIES that hires CDL GRADS thnx.

    One thing you need to know is werner got the the lowest pay package, me personally i wouldn't refuse prime for werner. Im an ex former werner driver and i think you can get your experience somewhere else than start with one of these mega carriers and gordan will be the best choice of your list, hope this help.

    I think you will need at least six months experience for JB Hunt. I would not list Prime as a crappy pay company. They have some of the best equipment and pay for a newbie. Check out Prime, Gordon, TWT, and May.

    Edit: Western Express is a second chance company. Conway is a good one too.
