Just finished school, now which company

Why oh why did you wait until after you got your CDL to start looking at companies?

Forget the mega starter companies.

Here is a couple thousand to start with: https://maps.google.com/maps?q=list...F-8&ei=mWVjUs2lBsjhyQGc-YH4Ag&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAg

Don't take the path of least resistance, it's the losers way out.

Get off the coulch and hit the bricks looking. There are some great smaller companies that will hire new drivers. You have to be willing to put in the effort to find them.

 

Wow...out of those 3..I would quit the truck driving industry compleatly!!

 

I generally like smaller outfits, but if I had to choose out of those three I would choose Gordon granted it has been a while since I checked them out but when I did they had a good safety rating and their drivers I have talked to over the years had good things to say about them. Remember people are more likely to post negative comments about a company even if a company on here has a hundred negative comments that's out of the thousands of employees that currently work for a bigger outfit and the thousands that worked for them in the past. Welcome and good luck remember the first year is the hardest if you can make it past that you will be fine. Keep the door shut, wheels spinning the seat covers grinning, and the shiny side up!

 

Look beyond your nose and at the map that comes up. Look at the hundreds of dots on the map. Each of those is a trucking company. Move your mouse over the dot and it will give you a name, address, as well as possibly a phone number and website.

I could give the the names of several small companies in my area which is NOT Southern California. That is why you need to get off your ### and do some research.

Why is it so many posters claim they have done "extensive" research but the best they can come up with are 3 mega carriers. If that is the best you can come up with, then you are screwed before you start.
