    good outlook.. but from what I been reading small outfit dont take new people?

    So maybe the poster should have asked What is a great place to start? Being a newbie we can hope for the best and accept the best we can get.

    Most large companies go to canada. Some have stoped doing it but most still do. You will need a passport I think. Or at least in the near future you will.

    I can't name the top five, but I can give you the top one:

    It's the one that fits your needs at the present time.

    Quit looking for utopia, as it isn't available. Make an informed decision, then do your best to make it work for your situation. If it doesn't, move on at the appropriate time.

    Any of them that hire students are pretty much the same just different colored trucks, my choice if I was you would be TMC supper nice trucks and they hire students but that's if you are willing to pull a flatbed

    ok I see alot of talk about flatbed like its bad but no one says exactly why they say "If you wanna pull flatbed"

    Also I dont mean to sound insulted or aggrivated but alot of comments to us newbies sound kind of misled.

    When we ask what are the best places .. We are not looking for the Utopia jobs or things we dont deserve. All we want to know is a little info on choices we have. See we do not know what companies wil hire us? So we ask. We get told research. Please be patient with us. That why we are asking. Reading these boards can be more confusing than never have reading them. So many people say so many different things. We just basical wanna know Who will hire a NOOB. What kind of work do they do? What do they pay? If they are good or not?? We (NOOB) wont know till we call them or do more outside reseach. We just wanna knwo where to start. Thanks
