    Anyone out there have any suggestions on Western Region trucking companies that have their own CDL & Driver Training? Currently looking into Swift and Knight to avoid up front tuition, but also considering Sage and getting loan so not committed to a specific company up front. Any opinions or suggestions?

    Many companies have Western Regional.
    Here are two of them.

    System Transport (avg. $50K + per year)
    Watkins & Shepard (tuition reimbursement)

    System Transport is not a "starter company", you start right out with a high quality company making good money.

    Hi, Chinatown, I am new here, so I can only ask for advice in this way.
    The other day I didn't express myself clearly about my trucking working experience. Actually, I was trained in a trucking school in NY and graduated from the school. My CDL A was issued by New York State DMV in 2010. I mean I was formally trained and got CDL A license, but I don't have any working experience with CDL A driving. I have been looking for the job online but they all require at lease 3 months with CDL A working experience, what should I do? Would you give me some suggestion. Here My wife and I say hello to your wife. Thank you!
