    It a load of crap, I know of a lot of trucking companies in may area, but not a single one will hire a a driver fresh out of school.

    Its cool man, everybody learns something new everyday & thanks. I know that once I get going with this I'm going to need all the luck I can get.

    While you can tell I haven't driven yet, I can tell you all I have ever heard about them is bad. A friend of mine drove for them a few years back & says he would rather go back to a desk job then drive for them again.

    stay away from werner, swift, jb hunt and yes even schnieder
    you will be a number to them, a very expendable number that is
    try your best to get into a medium company, better yet a small one

    if you do go with a mega carrier watch your third point of contact at all times

    How about going to truck stop and ask a few drivers, how they feel about who they drive for ? Don't expect 1 answer to give you good perspective. 1 person might be very satified with the same thing another can't tolerate.......... Some settling might occur during shipping:biggrin_25523:

    If it wasn't an hours drive to a truck stop I would be out there asking drivers every day, but with my current job I'm really just not able to do that.
