    I am seeking to become a trucker and am very dedicated to it. I am seeking a company that allows solo drivers. I know everyone starts out with training drivers and I certainly have no problem with that whatsoever. Just not wanting to be locked into team driving. I appreciate any help and all the good work done herel.

    Prime runs solos and has a good training program. If you stay as a solo driver for one year after qualifying, the tuition is completely forgiven - a free CDL training course.

    Depending on where you live will depend on which of the big companies to start out with if that's what you want to do. I used to work for Swift, and they have a terminal or a trailer drop yard in nearly every state. So, there's Swift, Schneider, Prime, CR England, Knight and a host of many others. You can go on the main page of the forums and click on the link referring to certain companies. You will find many posts on the various companies out there.

    Good luck!
