Long time lurker here, but finally worked up enough nerve to post. I guess the title says it all! LOL! I'm currently in CDL School and will be finishing up in April (Only go on the weekends due to job during the week). I will have all of my endorsements by the time I am ready to jump in with a company (around June) and I also have a Passport and TWIC. I would like to run all 48 plus Canada and Mexico if I can. Hometime is not really important for me (with exceptions of family emergencies). I currently live in Savannah, Ga., but will be headed towards Atlanta after I finish school.
I would like to start off in Reefer, don't mind for being out at weeks at a time. I have no wife, no kids, just me. I know @Chinatown will have my back on this one as he is a wealth of knowledge on this site. But definitely looking for a Good Company that I can start with. Inverters, APU's would be great and please no driver facing cameras! LOL!!! Am I asking for too much? Everyone's input is greatly appreciated!

Should probably wait for Chinatown's input on this one, but I've heard good things about Earl Henderson Trucking.

Burn your TWIC card in effigy to the trucking Gods.

Just fyi, I've seen you use the word "effigy" in two different threads now. I'm not trying to be a jerk, but I think you need to look up the definition before you use it incorrectly again.TheFriscoKid Thanks this.

You will never run Mexico nor should you want to

My suggestion, is to try and get at least 5 companies you really want to work for and apply to them. The nice thing, most of the companies use intelliapp, so if you've filled out 1 intelliapp application to completion, it remembers 90 percent of your information once you put in your social, name and date of birth. You can blaze through the applications in no time.
I can suggest a few companies China suggested to me and you can look into them. Hopefully he will be along here soon.
Don't fear the MEGA! To an extent, there is no perfect starter company.....because, well, they are starters companies. It's just kind of how it works. BUT, there seems to be better starter companies and better options for you, depending on what you are looking for.

Where are you going to school? Savannah Tech? I'm in Rincon, and the only thing that is keeping me from going to Savannah Tech is that it takes so long. I would not be able to work and do the school even just on the weekends.
Chinatown Thanks this.
