I want to be a trucker

Haven't heard too much about Stevens, my only contact with them was when I was checking out a lipstick lesbian and her butch partner got pretty riled up about it. I went with Schneider, I had good luck with them.

 

Oh yea, as far as training, I would choose Schneider over Stevens any day! Stevens is not the worst, but certainly not the best to be sure. Schneider has it's problems but is a far cry from Stevens, IMHO.

 

Am I making a mistake geting trained and working for pam? I heard nothing but bad about Stevens..

 

In my opinion pam is not to good either.

 

Which Trucking Companies would you suggest for student training? I start, or i'm suppose to start training w/PAM tomorrow..

Much Appreciated.

 

What state do you live in?

 

The thing you need to do, instead of asking for random input from drivers, is to figure out what it is that YOU want from a trucking company and then find one that fits those criterion. That's my advice.

SWIFT is probably not the best place to start out as a trainee. There are a few companies that do well getting you on your way your first year. Where are you located? Maybe one of them is near you.

At any rate, I would advise you to think about what it is that you want to accomplish as a driver (especially your first year, which is the one that counts the most towards making your career). You can literally go anywhere in the country and get a job if you can safely get that first year of experience under your belt.

 

none of the companies who hire newbies pay dink. you ned a year or two experience before you can even think of transfering out of a training company and ino a good co where you can make decent money
