New drivers considering WA state based companies...

Swift suck, GTI good equipment and ok business.

 

I'd say both considering you can go far in your career with each of them companies.

Does interstate accept noobs? If they do I'd consider them also?

 

I talked to a Interstate recruiter when I first started looking for a company to sign on with a while back, they needed at least 6 months experience, they prefer a year. I am starting orientation with System transport tomorrow morning, I chose them because I could only find a couple negative comments and after talking to a few drivers from there found way more positive then negative. They have a few different divisions depending on what you are wanting to do(TWT, Systems, JJ). So its a company maybe you would want to consider, they are based out of WA, just my .02 cents.

 

System is a very good company. Theres a member here, Rugerfan, that drives for them. He can be found on the flatbed forum of this website. Also, one thing to remember that I seemed to observe is System has APU's on their tractors along with Gordon which equips their trucks with 1500 watt inverters. Swift has an idle policy.

As a former Swiftie steer clear from them. I love working for Brown Line working half as much for 4 times the pay and they treat the drivers like human beings.

 

Pick Schneider ...out of Portland
they have a great operation there...full of good people who do all they can and then some...to take care of your wants/needs.
