CDL School student looking for recommendations for companies to apply to

LOL

 

i went Prime last year out of FL. They pay $900 Student training pay per week now and it’s back to 30k miles. Good company, good culture to start with. I was only there 2 months but have nothing bad to say.

 

Whatever you do. Don’t accept a driving job with BillyBob’s Alligator Eatery.

 

I don't hear engines running even in the busiest truck stops unless they are the trucks parked on either side of me OR their reefers. Steady reefers are ok. The ones that kick on and off constantly drive me up the walls and I've been driving for years. I've had reefers park next to me that were so quiet I couldn't hear them inside my truck and I've had others that were so loud they literally rattled the glass in the door of my microwave.

 

Thank you for tagging me. You must've seen my stalking post.

 

May want to read some of these reviews.

Particularly this one. I see a whole lotta reasons to run, not walk, from this company but the decision is yours, not mine. Of all these horrible things about this company, charging a driver a dollar a mile to go out of route is ridiculous. I've gone 20 miles off route to go around a 6 hour backup for a major multi car pileup. If they think they're going to CHARGE ME for making them money and moving that load down the road they've lost their pea-pickin' minds. Oh, and charge me for toll roads? You try to get from south of Chicago to Wisconsin without taking one. It will take you 2 hours longer, I promise, and that's on a good day. Charge you for load locks? Are you freakin' SERIOUS??? What kind of a company is this?

BEWARE: You must run teams for 6 months!!!!

"Must have 6 months to start as a solo. Pay starts at 0.43 cpm. Orientation 3 days starting tuesday pay is 300$ . No sharing hotels , paid breakfast and lunch. You get paid Friday for orientation but you won't get a paycheck for 2 weeks due to the delay pay. You will be required to buy 2 load locks for orientation costing 100$. The 1100 mile average is true, lots of miles . There is mandatory per diem it's not optional. Home time is 1 day for 1 week . 3 weeks out minimum, 5 days home max. Freymiller uses loves exclusively you can fill up at any loves. They do reimburse parking . They do not pay for scale tickets but will reimburse you for the cost. They don't have prepass or paid tolls you must enter all scales, you take a toll road they will charge you. They have mandatory routing , it cost a dollar a mile if you go out of route. They do not do 34 hour resets you have to request one by dispatch you will run recaps. 30% of the loads are relays , not much drop and hook mostly live load/unload with automatic detention at 20 an hour after 2 hours. Dispatch is very rude and pushy but do not bother you if you are on time. Most days you won't hear from a dispatcher if you on time they do leave you alone. Night dispatch will call you to do repowers, don't answer if you don't want the load or they will ding you with a service failure. You can listen to dispatch calling drivers insulting names over the phone in the office. The biggest thing about the company is the long hauls 1700+ mile runs."

 

I'd work there even today. I've learned over the years that many rambling, complaining stories are embellished in the complainers favor.

Doesn't look rambling at all, looks factual. He doesn't complain, he states it as it is.

I don't know too many "rambling complainers" who state that you must pay for your own load locks if it wasn't true.
