    Hi, I am currently signed up to start CDL training in August and have many questions about which company I should apply with once my training is completed. If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it. I'm looking for a company with decent pay for beginners and guaranteed hometime as I am married with 3 kids. Now I know becoming a truck driver probably isn't the best decision for a family man but like they say, "you gotta do what you gotta do", especially in these harsh economic times. I'm just looking to get my OTR experience so I can come back and get a local job with an LTL company but as you know most places like that want 6 mos. to 1 year of exp. I have read many reports, good and bad about various companies. I was interested in USA and Swift until I recently read some negative reports about how they pay and treat their drivers. Is anyone familiar with H.O. Wolding? And if so , what can you tell me about them? Again any help would be appreciated. Thanks J-rock

    Hey and Howdy J-rock! Welcome to the forum. Sounds as if you have already found some info on a few companies, just remember to take what is said with a grain of salt and maybe some pepper too. Again Welcome, Good Luck and Good

    Hi and welcome to the Forum! Take a look here Trucking Schools

    Good luck with finding the right school for you. Hopefully you can find one like my husband did. We had been married for 9 years when he went to school and we had 3 small kids. He went to school 4 days a week and then came back home the rest of the week. I worked during his schooling. His schooling was for 4 months. Also check out this thread.
