    I’m relocating to Wyoming and noticed a plethora of CDL jobs.
    I’m retiring from a career of LEO and had a few recruiters message me about joining a team.
    CR England, Swift, Pam and another I don’t recall.
    They are offering free schooling with a
    easy payback plan.

    My questions is:
    What should I look for from these recruiters?
    Who is the better company to start with?
    Who would you avoid?
    What’s a decent OTR pay weekly/monthly?
    Any other info to consider?

    I do have my pension, but trucking sounds interesting. When I was younger, I used to drive my dads dump truck and occasionally his Mack, in “bobtail” mode.
    Any info you can throw my way I’d appreciated! Thanks for looking
    Mitch

    Private or community college or technical schools are good for cdl school also.
    This way you can choose from several companies to drive for.

    Not sure if Western Dairy Transport hires in Wyoming, but you can call and ask.
    CDL school pays hourly while attending school, plus meals & lodging.
