Which company do you recommend

My advice? You don't live that far from Youngstown, drive down there and look around for a couple days. Look for trucks hauling block, precast, building supplies, anything with a flat or step and a day cab. There are lots of jobs like that that pay hourly and are pretty good jobs. If you want on the road look for a decent looking truck with a name on the door you've never heard of from the general region you live in Google, call, ask. There are too many good opportunities out there to screw with bottom feeders.

 

Nick Strimbu in Brookfield, Oh might also be a place to look into. They have a training program.

 

Did you choose a company yet?

 

If you need more than 40K then probably TMC is best.
With Strimbu you would need to be in reefer division to make decent money and run coast to coast.

 

They aren't the only company out the with the va apprenticeship program, but they are the only one in aware of that is a2 year program

 

Roehl Transportation has a 24 month VA OJT Apprenticeship Program. They are a fairly large company that runs all 48 states. They have Dry Van, Temperature Control and Flatbed divisions. Werner also has 24 month program but I would avoid that company.
