    Brand new CDL in my back pocket just graduated from truck driving school. Three companies have expressed an interest in hiring me. Have a clean driving record, no tickets or anything last ten years. Never a felony of any kind,

    1[SUP]st[/SUP] company is Averitt,

    2[SUP]nd[/SUP] company is Transport America,

    3[SUP]rd[/SUP] company is Roehl

    All three are top of the industry companies according to what everyone says and what I can find out about them on the internet. I have researched all three, and like what I have found out. Have read everything I can find about them, and what all you people here at Truckers Report have to say.

    I would like a little advice from you knowledgeable truckers as to which company you think would be best to go with. I am still at a loss as to which one. Once the decision is made, I plan to commit with them for an entire year, good or bad.

    Would like to drive over the road in all 48 with a dry van, and don't particularly care to be home every weekend.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    I agree. Also like that Roehl has flatbed & refrigerated divisions to.

    Also look at LandAir in Greenville.

    I started with roehl and worked there over a year. I enjoyed it while I was there, then left for a local job (that was a joke).

    I'd recommend roehl through and through

    Maverick has a flatbed division in East TN, maybe Johnson City.
    Burkhart Enterprises in East TN runs tankers.
    Melton Truck Lines is a good flatbed option.

    Check some websites on the companies everyone has mentioned; lots of good options for you, and some good pay and benefits packages.

    I agree 100% Averitt is way better and has a future. The others aren't even worth you time!
