Noob, requesting company comparison.

Out of those 4 I would go with WEL.

 

I think USA has a no pet policy.


Out of the 4, I would chose US Xpress

 

It's not as if you'll find anyone of these noticibly better than Swift or any other starter...if that's your thinking. The first year is going to be brutal and frustrating regardless...expect it.

 

In my years of driving i have found that one person can be happy at a company while another is miserable, given same trucks routes, fleet mgrs..... i have met 2 people that thought Werner was best place ever- i looked them over, they were not stoned,or bleeding from the head.... Same with Swift, Stevens and few others...
i really can't tell you a preference of those 4, only that i'd recommend going with a reefer company over dry van. But that's me and you might be a Flatbedder and don't know it yet....

 

Roehl is hiring in TX. They built a new terminal in Dallas.

 

they werent bleeding from the head...rofl. i agree with cuzzin, tho...one person's "great company" is another's "worst company in the history of man". i can only speak of usa truck out of the ones you listed... and i can tell you i did almost NO northwest mountains, but did at least my share of the northeast. and when i graduated trucking school i had 3 guaranteed job choices. usa truck, roehl, and pam. usa truck paid the best thats where i went, and i didnt regret it cept maybe a day here and there. think it was more a regret of the choice to be a truck driver on those days than with which company i chose. like the day i tried to use the goethals bridge to go to long island and ended up in brooklyn because a sign said all vehicles over 12'9" take next exit...UGH. i can say that a VERY good friend of mine said youd have to be brain damaged to go work for stevens...but again i have no experience with them personally. i trust his judgment enough that i WOULD need to be bleeding from the head to work for them, but couldnt with authority tell others not to. i also font know anything of usa truck EXCEPT otr. if ur looking at regional, i have nbo idea what to expect for miles. i did really well with them, but i was otr, i stayed out 5 weeks average at a time,averaged 2800-2900 miles per week, was on paper logs (sometimes got a bit "creative") governed at 63, had many weeks where i drove over 4000 miles...used reset often. miles are at LEAST as important as cpm they pay you, and usa gave me usually all i could handle.

 

If your looking at USA Trucking you might wanna read this ..http://thecitywire.com/node/23395

 

A little out of date. USA got a new credit line releasing them from the $300,000 penalty. Now what happens in the future us anyone's guess
