Best trucking companies to work for?

Yup

Eaten there many times .

 

Cruising is fantastic, we did it for four years. I don’t want to clutter the forum but Dm me if you have any questions about living/cruising on a sailboat.

 

Roadtex – Transportation Corporation
Teams
With 32 terminals across the country, Roadtex leads the market in temperature-controlled LTL day and time-definite service.

 

BillyBob's Alligator Eatery might contact you with a great offer. Don't take it. Trust me.

 

Given your background in law enforcement and/or the military--I think the above is probably a wise investment of your time.

Just go into this with the understanding that they are/can be picky--but the better carriers can afford to be that way....

Personally, I think your background in law enforcement and/or the military will give you a real edge there--over many of the other rookie applicants.

If I were in your shoes--and things somehow don't work/pan out with DOT, here's who I would look at next (and basically in this order):

• Leonard's Express
• AMX

Leonard's is apparently pretty cool.

They have both dry van and reefer fleets.

You could conceivably start out with them running dry van.

Once you get used to pulling a big box--if things get (or stay) on the slow side for freight volumes--you could switch over to their reefer group--and all this, without changing employers.

Another driver here on the Forum ("xlsdraw") from south FL has driven for them--and had generally good experiences with them.

I don't know if AMX has anything of a reefer fleet, or not--you'll have to reseach that own your own (I don't think they do).

I just know what I see over here--they seem pretty busy.
