    Does anybody have any experience with these companies? What are the pros and cons? Which do you recommend?

    I don't know about the last but the first three are training companies. I don't know your situation but if you have some ambition you can do better.

    The problem is nobody can give you comparisons like when you read restaurant reviews. I work for Melton and enjoy it. But maybe those others are just the same or even better. I cannot know.

    Melton recruitment was 100% accurate in their promises. Out of 21 people who went to orientation, only 7 were accepted by the end of it. 1 year later I am generally happy there and would recommend them. Talk to a recruiter.

    this is a true statement. If you are new to trucking or flatbed you need a company that trains.

    I recommend the companies that for the most part won't be talked about on the interweb. The type that a guy might have to show up in person knock on a door and shake a hand.

    My opinion is not always popular around here when it comes to this subject. The easy button crew doesn't like it.

    Good luck to you.
