    Sorry to hear about that but good to see your back on your feet. Back injuries suck big time I just wanted to be put out of my misery when I had mine. Thats just in a league of pain that can't be explained. Good luck with your search.

    PAM is the way to go... you can read horror stories about any company in this forum.... and find only a few good stories... it is what you make of it... REMEMBER this::::

    Truck driving is a HUSTLE if you HUSTLE you will make money! PERIOD!
    Dont let that ever leave your mind! Because you can find bad anything if you want!

    Personally I would avoid England, but to each is to own. You are going to have far better chances of success at the smaller companies. The mega-carriers are mainly interested in the new guys for cheap labor and once you upgrade they want you to lease a truck from them so they can continue on making money off of you. I recommend a carrier that is interested in hiring you to haul freight and pay you what you are worth.

    STAY AWAY FROM CR ENGLAND!!!!

    They are the single worst trucking company in the USA!!! There is probably a thousand pages about those buzzards here at the truckers report!!!

    They are worse than Auto Truck Transport, Covenant Transport, Swift, JB Hunt and Knight Transportation all combined!!!


    If you can get a student loan, more companies are now offering reimbursement for accredited schools.

    By the way, there are several decent companies that will reimburse you for the entire amount of your training. Just be cautious of any stipulations they may put on you as a condition of reimbursement. OK?

    I agree, to a point. PAM is not the choice a an educated or experienced driver. However, they do have enough freight to keep their drivers moving, just not many miles. The exception I see with them is when they run on I-10. Their runs out of Texas typically have miles and when they return to Texas they have miles. Now that I think of it, the same can be said for PTL.
