Too Much Info

I am also from Central TX . Yes getting your cdl at a local college is gonna give you a lot of opportunities . There will be a few local gigs that might take you at first and a bunch of mega fleets that will take fresh graduates . Don't waste any time and be prepared to be a rookie for a while , get 6 months under your belt with the schooling and you will be good to go .

 

The reviews tend to get blurry because no one company is going to satisfy every driver. There are going to be bad days then there will be great days. You just have to be able to find a happy median.

Coming from a guy that fell for the ######## story twice of you'll make about the same but you'll be driving a large car with a small company... Don't listen to that wash, find a company that serves what you want and go with it.

If you want over the road the are of companies out there.

Central Texas, as in Austin?

 

First, Thank you for your years of service to our country!

Second:
You did not mention if you were wanting to be a company driver or an owner operator.
Also, what kind of freight?
Over the road or local?

If your thinking about being an owner operator or hauling cars... or especially if your thinking about being an OO and hauling cars...lol.. you might want to check out this thread: https://www.thetruckersreport.com/truckingindustryforum/threads/new-to-car-hauling.337269/

If your not wanting to be an OO and/or, If your not wanting to haul cars then there is probably not much there that would benefit you.

Best of luck!

What are you actually wanting to do? Just make money? Spends weeks out driving all over the States? Prefer to stay Regional and get by the house every weekend? Willing to relocate elsewhere in Texas to make more money?
