Any advice on good companies to start with?

Depends on where you live. Put your location on the profile.

Tyson Foods has 70 mph trucks. Those fast trucks put you back on the market real fast looking for a non-trucking job.

 

Abilene Motor Express

 

20cpm , lmao ummmm, ur joking right.

 

Put that tanker/hazmat to work for you and make over a grand a week.

 

U can't run 4000 legally as a solo driver, plus 800 isn't alot of money, , especially after it's taxed unless he is paying u as a Independent Contractor.

 

Look into the oilfield too they always need drivers. You can get paid hourly and make good money. Just remember work hard , get paid.

 

Here's some good high paying companies & they all hire new CDL grads:

SVTN
Trimac
Schneider Bulk
CTL Transportation
Superior Carriers
Melton Truck Lines
System Transport

If pay isn't a top priority and you want coast to coast reefer as a solo driver, look at Navajo.

 

Even Swift starts you at .25 cpm.
After a year it's about 25% more.

And like someone said, you can't drive 4000 miles per week legally, or safely.

Your buddy is not so friendly if he would use you in this way.
