Newbie has choices, can't decide on company!

You have two choices, home time or making money! Unfortunately rarely do they do hand in hand. This is the number one reason for newbies quitting!

 

of all the ones in your list ,New Century, is the only one I have not heard bad info on. in fact talked with a driver from a terminal close by, that made it sound good. ran Tex from NC.

 

New Century for the win. It's the only one I'd consider.

 

.17/mile? depends on miles driven and dollars needed. it's a start with a decent co and not one of the dreaded driver mills , that don't give a crap and just want the gov. co-pay to train.

you won't get rich driving truck, but it's always paid my bills and enough for beer and scotch. single malt at that !lol

read some other posts on how to equip your new "home", and deal with the boredom. you live in a truck and visit your house. really.

 

Avoid Weiner, i like reefers so stevens would be my choice. i ask about average length of haul, percentage of drop and hook. avg miles per week. if they dance around those questions, thats a red flag to me. Most big company recruiters are not very knowledgable, so they might stammer if you ask LOH avg. but if they say there is no way that could be figured, they are boldly lying instead of naive

 

Mmmmmm, single malt scotch

O/p i heard good things about new century. They have a terminal about 45 minutes from me. Avoid werner. Boyd is flatbed which is good $ if you dont mind working. Avoid lease deals the prime, crst and others might try and push on you.

 

I did'nt know New Century was a starter company.I would give them a chance.I've heard they are a real good company.I think they require you have a phone and you may need an above average GPA from the school you attended.
