AARRGGHH!! Getting Frustrated! How do I choose?

This is the conclusion I've come to.

I turned down the JB Hunt route, mainly to have some more time to think about it and do research. I haven't totally written them off, they said I could be home once a week which is better than once every two weeks, but I want more information about it-there's a high turnover rate on that route for some reason.

The recruiter said probably because it's labor-intensive. I don't mind hard work, that's part of the reason I want it, but I don't like to put much stock in what a recruiter tells me. I'd rather have some feed back from a driver who is actually doing that route.

In the meantime, at least I have a job right now- I am making money. I'm just going to spend more time researching other companies. I would like to get a local job, the idea of being home every night is appealing, but I don't want something that is going to be too monotonous-I need to find a nice balance between "adventure" and "routine".

 

GasHauler, right now they only require 3-MONTHS experience to be a trainer! Their whole "training" program is a joke. My trainer had more experience but she was not a lot of help, I had to learn most of what I know by trial and error. Like so many "mentors" here, she was only in it for the money.

I've met maybe 2-3 drivers who are actual trainers-who seem to be genuinely interested in giving new drivers the tools they need to survive out here.

As a whole, the company doesn't really seem to care if we know what we're doing or not. I've never worked for a company that you couldn't ask someone a question on company policy and get information. Here, for the most part what I get is a lot of attitude. Hardly anyone wants to give you a straight answer. I figured out they're all trying to manipulate things for their own interest so they tell you whatever they think will better serve their own needs. Just a really crappy atmosphere in my point of view.

I could get into a full on rant-and-rave about my dissatisfaction, but I gotta go. Basically, I've resigned myself to the "known evil"--I kinda know what to expect from these people, I'll stay with them until I find the job that I want.

Thanks again for the input, it really helped.
