the 3 worst compny in the industry, im right or not???

Hi Pilot, Does National hire drivers out of school?
Thanks

 

You answered your own question....

 

I've heard Western Express can be pretty awful.

 

Oh yeah, I forgot...got a preHire from Western Express as well. It's just that I have read soooo much negative on them, I suppose I conveinently forgot them! (Only reason I applied is they have a terminal 30 miles from me.)

 

When it comes to the worst companies,you as a newby won't find any company better then the next otherwise they would'nt have such a high turn over rate.Best advice I can give a newby is suck it up untill you get 1 yr under your belt then move on to better companies.There is more starter companies then not that suck.Don't think there is one good starter company is there?

 

Yeah, I think I've narrowed my choices to Schneider, Roehl or EPES.

 

I've found that getting on a dedicated account makes income and home time both more consistent in a big company. I drove OTR for USX years ago and hated it. I've spent the last 6 years on the Dollar General account for the same company and it's a whole different world. My income doubled and so did my home time. I'm looking at other companies now because I want to pull flatbeds but I'd recommend USX for a new driver that doesn't mind hard work. If you want no touch freight, you'll find it hard to make a good living anywhere that will take you fresh out of school.

 

hi my name is will .. im about to graduate soon... i was thinking about going to either Crete or Schnider .. any info will be appreciated

 

I've worked for both- go to Swift.

 

What do you see as the major advantage/selling point for a newbie to go with Swift?
