Newbe with a first company choice question

Did you say you live in CT? I see allot of postings for Companies in Fl. Im not sure if I missed something. Only reason I'm asking is because I'm from CT and you're asking the same question I had.

 

Maverick would hire you out of school. They are flatbed.

 

Check out Boyd Bros or Conway too

 

you can try Arnolds Trans. They hire out of school.....Going there 3/12....good luck !!

 

im not sure if pgt hires in ur area but im in philadelphia and am a recent grad from an outside school, i applied for pgt and the ver next day they called pretty much begging me to go with them. ( flatbed company) i just havnt decided if i want to do flatbed or not. hope this helps

 

There are starter companies that will train u right out of school for flatbed. The problem is being out FL is if they have flatbed freight coming into the state. You go out you have to come back with minimal deadhead miles. Roehl has mostly van drivers out of FL me being one of them. Flatbed and curtainside I've heard there's not enough freight to come back on your home time. You'll just have to call of the companies you consider, find out what they offer and go from there.

 

Is this anything like pulling Reefer???

 

It's slang for doubles/triples. There's good money in it to.

 

You cant bank on what other people say or even consider what they say this is the internet and people lie and make it look worse than what it is. People also dont tell both sides of the storys so actually its both of there faults not just the company. If you want flatbed i say the easiest place to go so far is falcon transport outta youngstown ohio. If you have at least 6 months to a year work history go to tmc, maverick, us express, or star transport in illinois. Im going to orientation with schneider in indianapolis. Dry van. Your work history isnt a huge deal unless you go truck company to truck company. There awsome and they actually call you back when they say they will. And have been super nice. They pay twice as much for orientation. Like $460 a week completed. Just some help i guess
