if you have a wife and a kid to support, and you go to work for USA truck, and you save all your money, you MIGHT be able to afford to pay for a cab to take your wife and son to go file for Welfare.....You can and WILL make more working at Mc Donalds 40 hrs a week then spending weeks on the road with USA Truck.


You'd be 1000 times better off, maning up, going to TMC or Maverick and pull a flatbed and be home every weekend. If you bust your butt you can make $35,000 - $40,000 first year with them.

If you lived closer to NJ you could work for (might wanna call them anyway just to check) Watkins Shepard I made $46,000 first year with them, and east coast drivers are home every weekend...


But even between stevens and USA you'll make more at Stevens, how much more i dont know but i garentee it'll be more then you'll make sitting for days waiting for a load at USA truck

what you should have done, is gone to a real school and Called Epes, they'd get you home everyweekend and pay good too...

Or even if your broke, you could have went to Millis Transfer, went threw their school Only $500 and be home quite often and stars at .34cpm

your welcome



No exp required to flatbed at:

TMC
Maverick
Decker
Boyd Bros
McElroy
Prime
Swift
Werner
Roehl
Watkins Shepard (you'd have to wait on the waiting list to get on the Flatbed side)
etc there are more but thats all i can think of off the top of my head



I work for a Heavy Haul company and came here with no Flatbed Exp, i had 3.5yrs Driving Exp just no flatbed. Being on the East coast is a great place to get a FB job. Guys out west are very limited with FB options

Let me put it in economic terms a little better for you..

Stevens is refrigerated freight..things like meat, veggies, juice, fruit..things that nobody can live without no matter what the world economy is doing..

USA Truck..dry van..they haul anything and everything that doesn't require a reefer..maybe some canned goods usually consumer stuff like clothes, car parts, washers/dryers and so on that right now a lot of people are passing right by in the stores..

So....Refrigerated vs dry van..

Refrigerated..definitely..I put it like that because of your wife and little boy..You don't want to be sitting..especially in your first year where rookie driver wages are in the .20's per mile..the little bit less that stevens is paying per mile will be made up for when they keep your truck moving..Thats why your dad liked em so much..he was always under a load or on his way to get loaded and why he still has fond memories of his time there..

Yes..for your first year you are going to be gone a lot and its going to be hard on you and the wife and your little one..That's the price you pay to get your foot in the door..the results after that year make up for it when you can take your choice of any company/driver position out there as long as you keep your DAC clean and don't jump ship.
