Going to Boyd Brothers

I graduated on the 8th and after a lot of consideration, trying to decide how to use my new CDL, I have decided on Boyd. They seem to have a fair pay scale and haven't read too many negative things about them. Flatbed seems like the way to go anyway, from what I've read. So I will be attending orientation on the 18th, following a 13 hour bus ride. Yep. I'm excited and a bit anxious about the whole thing. Wishing I could fast forward 6 or 7 weeks when I will be on my own as a solo. Any one else attending orientation that week?

 

Made it through orientation and two weeks so far with a trainer and I can't say enough good things about Boyd. They treat their drivers very well and everyone is very friendly.

 

haha 70? try 120. and I'm 36. I don't feel so young. It's hard work occasionally. But an awesome company. It's difficult waking up and immediately lifting heavy tarps but it's only 2-3 times a week. Having a good support system is awesome and the drivers all look out for each other. My trainer is outstanding. My first weekend was spent on Bourbon street in New Orleans having a great time. Boyd is very picky about who they choose to drive for them, which is a good thing. The pay is much better than most starter companies. Wayyyy better. I feel blessed to be part of this company. Home every weekend too. They leave you alone as long as you get the job done. Nice equipment. Maintenance is outstanding.
