    The requirements that most companies ask for is 6 months in the past 18 months to 3 years. What folks are ragging on you is that the three companies that you listed are all for beginners. We think you could do better then that. Furniture Row is out of Denver, I think. They would be better. Go to a local truck stop and see what companies are there.

    Trans Am is a company that is located in my area. I cannot recommend them. Knight is a much better company but they pay less then what you can get elsewhere. What ever you do, don't hire on cheaply. 39 cpm is the least you should except.

    True.
    I tried swift, found out the hard way why everyone said "run"
    I guts one of my questions is when they say 6 months in a year (or so) is that driving that under a class a . or driving a cmv.?

    I would prefer teaming than running 11 hours a day and that alert beeping.

    rush trucker yeah I hear ya we use a similar system to the Qualcomm system although once we cross our limit it sends a message to our dispatch and our dispatchers call us and tell we pick up our phone the problem being we have to pull off to the side of the road to make the phone call being here local that becomes a problem dispatchers here are problematic
