newbie wanting to find the best company sponsored training

I think with Roehl, it's the National Fleet that runs 48 states. Better ask some questions and make sure you get in the correct division for 48 states.

 

Right they have a TON different Regional Positions. JPT has 2 regional, Midwest to East Coast, Midwest to West Coast. I am going to call Thursday on my day off both of them and ask them 100 questions. My only issue keeping me back right now, is I can't afford another 4 week with out a paycheck, did it once last year and about lost my house and car. So may have to wait until NEXT years TAXES

 

Prime inc. it's one of the highest paying paid training out there, good luck.

 

JPT hauls Prime Reefers ALOT...Are they mainly O/O? or L/O?

 

both comapny drivers and L/O from my knowledge

 

National fleet runs all 48 and some Canada, but in my experience they seem to be mostly eastern. I don't think I ever made it west of Nebraska with them, and the guys I have talked to who did make it to the west coast, they say you can get stuck out there for awhile because they have a hard time finding freight going back. (Not sure how much truth there is to that, I usually take all trucker stories with a grain of salt if you know what I mean).

They also have a handful of dedicated accounts that still travel all over, just for one customer. That's the way to go in my opinion.

Regardless, roehl is a great company to go with, and their training is top notch. I always recommend them to new drivers. They have a terminal in ellenwood, but not sure if they do training there or not. Good luck!

 

Sorry I just realized after I posted that this thread was almost a month old so... I think I need to go to bed lol

 

Southern Refrigerated Transport is coast to coast. They haul lots of food products out of California to the East Coast.

 

I've been researching Roehl for awhile the mentor part is about 3 weeks and even less sometimes.
