    I am going to school in Michigan for my CDL and would like to start out working for a good company. I can atleast have hope.
    I have read quite a bit of pros and cons about every company through various forums and it has got me really confused since most of it is inconsistent.
    Right now the top of my list is Roehl, FFE, Conway, KLLM. I also am considering Covenant.
    What is flatbed like? I see Maverick and Arrow as possiblities.
    Am I on the right track?

    All those are as good as the other, Flatbed is great if you dont mind wrestling tarps, (which can be a bear especially in the winter) but it all depends on what you wanna do. I hear flats stay pretty busy.

    Research is great, talking to drivers is great, but for every positive, you'll have a negative. Try to pick the lesser of the evils. and again, its all about how you approach it. what are you willing to put up with.

    Hey Cactus,

    Please don't type in ALL CAPS. It is difficult to read and in the cyber world it constitutes yelling.

    thanks

    Maverick isn't hiring students right now. I called them and checked. Go to evertruckjob .com and make lots of phone calls.

    Well there you have it. Democracy in action. Capitalisim at it's best. Sad. I agree. If you want to go to McDonalds and make better money, do it. At least they get paid for all of their hours unlike most of you. And they get to be home every night. Who's the dummy now?

    Unless you work local (or any other type) for hourly pay, you get the royal shaft! Don't believe me, try asking any otr company what they pay to their drviers for breakdowns and delays of any kind without giving up any of YOUR time. It's not gonna happen. Trust me. Prove me wrong if you can. ONE COMPANY. JUST ONE!!!!!

    Can't wait to hear!
