    Hi, I have my CDL I drove in the military for 8 years (flatbed, lowboy, Van trailers). I'm located in Boise, ID and looking for a good company to start with in this area. Looked into TMC but they had nothing in this area. Any other suggestions? Thanks

    P.S I have a clean driving and criminal record.

    Have you thought about hauling fuel tankers? You got Mountain Home AFB about an hour south of Boise. They're always busy bringing fuel in there.

    I appreciate all the help! Seriously Thanks!

    @unholy7 I was definitely looking into that, Thanks. I know TMC has one that is actually a 2 yr apprenticeship program and you get the monthly pay. Schneider is another one that has the 1yr program, plus i've heard good things about the company.

    @Chinatown I will look into all of theses! You are the man.

    @Blackshack46 Thats a great idea!

    I've driven for SNI on the tanker side and don't have anything bad to say it just wasn't for me. I'm with Prime now and couldn't be happier. But I don't think they offer mgib bennies. But they do start students off at 500 a week for PSD training then 700 a week once you hit TNT (basically teaming) then 38cpm plus a 5 CPM bonus for driving one of their light weight trucks which brings it up to 43cpm as a student
