Would like advice on beginner companies

Could anyone give me some advice on a company to get experience with? I plan on retiring and going back to driving over the road. I live in the mid Tennessee area and I don't want to be pressured into leasing a truck. I have looked at a few companies to start with and would like any suggestions anyone might have. I have a CDL but haven't drove since 1999 and lack the experience.

TMC
Crete Carrier
Maverick
Tyson Foods
Prime

 

Thanks Chinatown.

You have any opinions on the companies I listed?

 

Thank you for all the information.

If you had to choose between all these companies as far as decent pay and not getting screwed too bad, which would you put as top 2 or 3 to try to start with?

Thx for all the advise.

 

I'll get the physical done once I get back from Afghanistan.

I also plan on going to a CDL school as a refresher, not sure if that will open any other opportunities or not. I am currently emailing back and forth with Tyson, not sure how you would rate them for a starter company.
Also got a pre hire acceptance with TMC.
Just trying to keep my options open.

Thanks for all the advise.
