    My brother in law is looking to get into the industry. What are some of the better slave companies to help get him started? I need opinions on this big time. Thanks

    Well I have heard good things about Millis Transfer. They have a school in Burleson, Tx, I wouldn't put them in a slave company category. They have a lot of happy drivers in the Millis forum on here,

    If he's going to their school, you're right, he'll be a slave and he better get it right because they will own him. Compared with going to a trucking school and let them help him get a job he's free to leave when he's ready.

    If he goes with a company as a starter (they train him) look for a company that has terminals near his home. He'll be able to get home easier, catching an outbound from the terminal and catch a ride back or park his car there.

    Swift

    If he has a little cash available :

    JBS Carriers

    Add Con-way Truckload to your list. Outside CDL, then otr training by the company, possible assistance based on school you use or Military background. Hired there out of school and can't find a good reason to leave.
