    Just got my CDL and applying for first job.

    I read lots of horrible reviews of all the mega starter companies and it is hard to get a read on which is better other than Western Express gets little respect from anyone.

    Which are the best for a newb, dry van OTR?

    i am in Oregon.

    How many hours was the cdl school?
    Do you have endorsements?

    Not as much going on with dry vans during this recession.
    Easier to find something with reefers & flatbeds.

    Don't CDL schools usually have the mega's at their doorstep offering jobs to the graduates?

    They gave us brochure from Swift. I have been getting responses from megas, that does not seem a problem, just judging which ones are better companies to work for is.
