Starting driving school soon and looking for honest answers/opinions.

Try Schneider. Good company, and I think they take grads.

 

Stay away from Schneider! Their terrible

 

They're a site better than CR England, CRST, Prime, Pride, USA Truck, PAM, and pretty much every other trainee-friendly carrier I've heard of.

 

I am with werner and so far it has been good... one of the things I like about being with werner while I gain experience is that I have different options.. rignt now I am on a dedicated account.. I am consistently making over $1000 a week and home weekends... so I am happy.. but, I can switch and do flatbed with werner, Reefer, dry.. or tr OTR or another account..
Werner doesnt have tankers, which I think Schneider does...

I like having all the different options... I want to get experience... and I can mkve arkund and try different things without having to job hop... if I decide to give flatbed a try and dont like it, I can switch to something else..

There are drivers with any comoany that are happy and drivers that are not..

 

Ditto on that warning...

 

I agree with the some drivers happy some not. Now maybe I am wrong but isn't it what you make of it? Just a thought from a soon to be driver.

 

TMC came to my school and seems like a great company if you like structure. A friend of mine has a buddy working for them 7 years now and he makes 70k+ and likes it. The equipment with them is nice only downside from what I hear is max 62 mph. I have 2 weeks left in school on a 10 week class and I did apply with TMC however my first choice is tanker with Superior Carriers. Best of luck to you!!

 

When a driver tells you they make 70k a year, you almost have to cut that in half, because they have to work 70 to 80 hrs. a week to achieve this.

 

I agree with working 70 hours per week but 70k is still 70k...My dad drove flatbed for years and made roughly 65k yr and worked about 60 hours a week.
There are a lot of drivers out there struggling to make 45k a year and they work 70 hours a week so If it were me I would take the 70-80 @ 70k any day. JMHO
