Hello,
Most of you gear-jammers may be tired of hearing them questions but I will ask because I truly need to get some insights and some words of advice hopefully from fellows who have worked or know how this 4 companies work.
My pre-hires are from:
Prime Inc. (Regional Northeast gig)
Roehl (Regional Northeast)
H.O.Wholding Inc (Northeast Regional)
Schneider (Lightweight Solutions)
They all have pros and cons in my opinion, but what the hell should I really know pro's and cons of an industry I am barely breaking into.
I honestly need help making the right decision the first time here!!
help please!
4 pre-hires. Who to choose?

All 4 of these are decent places to get your foot in the door, but HO Wolding is the best out of these four. It's the smallest company in your list, so they'll treat you more like an individual instead of a number... Prime would be my second choice. Their trucks are slow but they have legit fuel bonuses there.

HOW
If you are doing regional.
Should consider Conway truckload if you are wanting northeast regional they pay an extra 5 cpm up there.Jrivas23 Thanks this. -
I'd actually consider running 48 for the first 6 months or a year to get some experience in preferably less congested areas.
gntorres61, Jrivas23 and jeepnut_nh Thank this. -
Roehl.
Hands down.Jrivas23 Thanks this. -
ill recommend Roehl also, they have been a very good starter company for me. im just over 2 yrs now.
I also agree with a year of national, the northeast is very tight , busy and stressfull.
that said, just take your time, do it right, and don't let anyone rush you
but if Wolding had wanted me, I would have gone there. every driver ive spoken with loves the place.Jrivas23 Thanks this. -
Nice to read good things about Roehl, I'll be flying out to Marshfield to start orientation this Sunday. After training, I'll be on the 7/4 7/3 fleet out of Philadelphia.
Spent a month (got my CDL four weeks ago) coming thisclose to a few local jobs, which in the end decided they wanted experience. I'm glad I got things squared with Roehl, which sounds like one of the better places to start. I don't mind slip-seating, I'll be flexible if staying out longer is needed (actually, I'm already thinking I probably should have gone the regional 5 or 6 days out, 34 - 48 hour home route, but I was told I can switch to that in the future if necessary), and I'm very happy with the good home time to start.
Just have to get through three weeks of Wisconsin weather!
I'll likely update my progress on the forum as things move along.Jrivas23 Thanks this. -
Schneider. Good starter if you're motivated to work.
Jrivas23 Thanks this. -
I did not like the fact that I called a Schneider recruiter to ask some questions to help me decide on my next step and she was sort of a deuche to me. Her name was Danielle I believe. I got really upset about it, but I guess I let it go because I dont think I should judge the company or base my decision on this person's arritude...
My problem is I do not know or have not been able to contact noone that has done the "Lightweight Solutions" gig for Schneider.
Perhaps one of you guys know the ups and downs of it or any further detail.
