My Pride Transport thread as a newbie

thank you for the reply dirty bob...be safe on your run

 

No problem. Just give them a call and they'll let you know if they'll hire there or not. I know I've delivered to the Monrovia Costco DC a few times so they just may.

 

I am really considering them after I get out of school. I called and three things that might keep me going there is the very expensive insurance, the 3 months of training and forced per diem.
The reasons of going there is nice looking equipment, better hometime (will see) and better miles (2700-3500) so they say.
Do they pay practical or something else?
I am considering Pride as my first choice and Gordon as my second. Any thoughts?

 

Keep pride as your first and move Gordon down to last. Being that your from AZ i would add Knight into the mix. You should also consider Prime and Central IMO. So here's my order for you.

1. Pride
2. Central
3. Prime
4. Knight

10. Gordon.

I have talked with lots of Gordon drivers over the years and not many have nice things to say about them.

 

The forced per diem really sucks. But I do like the other things they offer.
What is the average weekly miles for solos and what can a newbie hope to make a week?
Do they pay practical miles or something else?

 

What was his reason for leaving pride?

 

more like 7 weeks. 2 weeks for school and 35 days with trainer. Unless of course you already have your license

 

do they hire from tennessee and what are the black trucks for
