    I’ve got an appointment to get my dot physical done this coming Tuesday and I’ll be ready to go after a career. I’m looking for companies that will school me for free or no upfront cost near the state of Kentucky. Prefer no touch drop and hook or flatbed and auto trucks. Any suggestions for a decent company to get me in the driving game? Been looking at swift because they offer sign on bonus and schooling in Memphis for no upfront cost but I hear a lot of horror stories about them.

    If your driving record is good, I would recommend Wilson Logistics out of Springfield, Missouri.

    define good. I got a speeding ticket years back and had my license revoked. Other than that I’ve got a clean driving record.

    A speeding ticket three years ago shouldn't be an issue. If your license revocation is just as old or older, then chat with a recruiter as I don't know about that issue.
     
    Beupsoon96 Thanks this.

    ticket was in 2017 around October. I’ll look at my options and see if I can find somewhere with a school that’d take me. Thanks for the advice.

    Whatever you do, DON'T sign any non compete contracts.
    Plenty of threads here on that subject.

    Usually one ticket three years ago is not a problem. The revocation might be, depending on how long ago.
