Looking to hear from some experienced drivers what companies in or near kentucky are the best to work for. I'll hopefully be getting a grant soon to go to bluegrass CDL academy in winchester, but if it doesn't work out, I'd like to know what companies will help pay for schooling and will be worth my time.
What benefits do these companies typically have? What is the length of a typical shift and can you drive further if you want? Looking to find out about hazard driving also, what's the pay difference compared to normal hauls? One last thing also, from you older heads' experience, do you like long hauls or short hauls more and what's your experiences with team driving? How do you keep hygiene up when on long hauls?
What are some of the better companies to work for in or near kentucky?

Looking for nation wide companies also that have locations in kentucky. Just want to find a legit company that keeps the same trucks, trailers, and I'd be getting into a routine with. Any suggestions?

Why does the company have to have a terminal in Kentucky?
That won't affect your home time. You'll still get home time based on company policy. -
You'll drive the same truck all the time, but will change trailers often.
