    I would say talk to those drivers that you are around all the time. Also, this is a great site for research. Put a list of companies you would like to work for and see what each one has to offer. Then make yourself a spread sheet and list them in order based on what you are looking for compared to what they offer.

    When all that is done, see what other drivers on here have to say about them. I've learned that these guys hold nothing back in terms of good and bad and are ready to help us newbies out as much as they can.

    I delivered to that plant before. I hate that thin stuff I had to bring in there. It breaks really easy. As for a good company I don't really recommend TransAm to start out with. You could pick up too many bad habits from these trainers.

    Roehl, Watkins Shepherd, Maverick all good companies.


    Flatbedding isn't that bad. It takes a bigger man to be a flatbedder than it does to be a wagon driver and just slam the doors and drive. Wagons are mind numbingly boring compared to flats.

    They are from a softcore website called suicide girls. They deal with what you consider alternative style chicks. I got all of these for free from the iphone package. And I crop these things heavy, most are nsfw.
