    Western Dairy Transport
    Think the school is in Phoenix. This photo shows Phoenix. Some websites aren't up to date, so if you're interested in milk tankers, give Western Dairy Transport an application followed by a call.

    I live close to Walmart and Sam's Club in Henderson. Lots of Swift and Knight trucks delivering there.

    If you decide on Swift, go with refrigerated division.
    Can make more money pulling reefers.
    I tried dry van one time and it's extremely boring. Refrigerated trucking much better. I know, pulled reefers for 18 yrs. If reefers was so bad, I wouldn't have done it for so long. Many other drivers on this forum feel the same.

    Like China said, most states have tons of money to send people to trucking and other trade jobs. Long as you have a clean driving and background you will be good, prime is a good place to learn, he’ll a lot of drivers actually like it there. If I was in your spot I would go to Prime.

    I just got off the phone with Knight. Think I'll be turning down Prime's invite, and I'll try Knight. Their offer is very similar, and I can be based in town, as opposed to Salt Lake City. Thank you.

    Caught my recruiter in a couple of lies, and when I politely addressed them, I was rudely told to let them know if I'd like to back out. Not a good start to a 1 year commitment if you ask me. Left a bad taste in my mouth. If they're acting this way, how will they act when I sign a contract with them?
