Hello. I am wanting a job in trucking. Unsure if it will be long term, to be frank. But I do want to give it a try. Currently, I have no CDL, and had my basic license for about a year. As bad as it may sound, I'm looking at mega carriers, because they seem to have the most lax requirements. But I honestly don't know where to go. I've heard horror stories of about every one of those. Are they all pretty similar, or are there some better ones out there?

We can't help you unless we know your location. Need to know the hiring area you live in.
Here's a decent company. Are you in their hiring area? Must be 21 yrs. old.

Would at least prefer most of the West to drive. It is certainly not as populated as the east.
