I have a two questions. I just finished driving school and have weighed companies pros and cons but I'm looking for input on which company y'all would choose as a new driver and if you choose knight would you go with the reefer or dry. Thank you for your time. It's greatly appreciated
Out of those two...I'd go with Knight. Super Service is what's left of the Gainey/GTS outfit...and if they're anything like they were in '08-10, I wouldn't recommend them unless your options are slim. I'd go with dry being straight out of school(less to worry about), but reefer is fine once you get a routine going.
Yeah 2 companies is way limited, but of the 2 I'd go with knight. And if you're a fast learner id go with reefer. Once you got reefer down you realize dry van is reefer's slow little brother.
I have a major speeding violation 108mph in a 65 so those are my best to options until dec 2017. And also Watkins Shepard and McElroy offered me also today.
Knight dry van National Fleet. Watkins-Shepard has a terminal in MS and it's dry van. McElroy is ok for flatbed. I've talked to a few Knight dry van drivers that were delivering to the same place I was, and they all were satisfied with dry van. It's a lot easier than refrigerated mainly due to the wait times at shippers & receivers being much shorter.
