Best Starter Company for a rookie?

Yep, that's pretty much every truckers situation! However, since you waited so long between when you went to school and finding a job guess what, you are going to have to go back to school before any one will take you. As for your list above that is a perfect list of the companies to stay away from. Try checking out careersingear or bigrigjobs. These are pretty good sites to find some companies in your area that are hiring. Also the OOIDA website usually has good info and links to reputable companies. Good luck!

 

i would say swift are p.a.m,stevens, but not england they want u to lease a truck not good for a begin truck driver....don't get me wrong a lot of trucker may disagree but when it come down to it.... you want have no pay check plus you must cover your own cost of gas repair etc. good luck i hope this can help somewhat

 

I would say in this econemy you made a big mistake! Their are thousand experanced drivers that cant make a living anymore. New bees have it bad. GO TO COLLAGE! RUN LIKE HELL FROM TRUCKING! Trucking is in the toilet.

 

Just extend your vacation another 2.5 months.........problem solved !!

 

I'm new as well just graduated and going with us xpress or tmc

 

Stay AWAY from the BIG BLUE!!!!!

 

I'm currently at orientation for TMC. So far, this seems to be a great place to start. They have been very up front about their expectations, and the training is going well. The hotel is nice, and the lunch they provide has been good so far. As of right now I would recommend them to anyone who wants some structure in ther career. Hopefully that won't change if I make it out with a trainer.

 

Danny,

First off, make some phone calls !!

Are all those companies currently hiring in your area ??
I doubt it.

And go from there.............
