HELP... Swift... US Express... Roehl

of the three roehl is the smallest and since biggest is very seldom best in the trucking roehl is the better choice especially if you want to be trained to be more than a number makes me wonder where i would be if i had chosen them instead of werner

 

They are not the same. Go with Roehl!

 

I have drove for USXPress as a solo and a team driver,,,,,DO NOT GO TO THEM AS A SOLO! Swift has been on the bad side of a conversation for a long time but, IMO I feel they have gotten to be a better company, never drove for them though. I have never heard a bad thing about Roehl and would suggest them over the 3 you asked about.

All that being said, do you really know what YOU want to do, as a truck driver? Do you want to WORK hard or just drive? Do you want to drive long distances or short? Do you want to be a steeringwheel holder or an actuall truck driver? Do you want to make the most money or, just be what TV and Movies make everyone believe? Do you want to pull a Flatbed, Dryvan, Reefer, Tanker or....? You should be asking what each trailer offers you, if you were to get into that type of hauling. Maybe you already know, from a relative or something..

 

Well if you want to team with your wife, that is where money is.. As a solo,,I feel that Flatbed is where money is... Not hardly any team companies that hire for Flatbed and if they do, the team needs a good amount of time flatbedding. Reefer is better for Teams in my opinion, you stay moving, the majority of the time but, sometimes there are shipper/receivers in the food industry that hold you up for some time, but not most of the time.

 

I would say go with Roehl, Good Luck.

 

I feel like Swift will be your best shot. Big Cat Trucker (guy on YouTube) trained with Swift and ended of driving there for about 2-3 years. He said he really enjoyed it there. Go Swift. Don't worry about pay your first year, worry about getting your experience.

 

Melton Truck Lines will hire teams. They are not specifically a team company, but they will hire teams. With any company, ignore the experience required, and apply anyway.
Teams-coast-to-coast/border-to-border/Canada/Alaska:

Martin Enterprises of the Carolinas Inc.
Buel Inc.
Fairchild Freight
System Transport
Navajo

 

I honestly didn't know that about Melton...thanks

 

Yep, isn't USX about like one step above Covenant......same family or something......that says enough for me.
