Newbie Here...

@Chinatown, we're still deciding on options.

Do the companies you've suggested run the northeast? I'd like to avoid that if possible.

Also, it turns out that Forward Air will require me to have 1 year of experience. So we're revisiting the options. He wouldn't mind leaving FA temporarily, or even permanently if the new company treats us right.

So, here's a rundown of what I'd like. Of course, I don't expect a perfect score for any company.

- Hires from Atlanta, GA area.
- Hires recent grads. Bonus: hires owner operators so fiance can join too. Would like to run team with him.
- Does not run northeast.
- No flatbeds or tankers. Reefers and dry vans ok.
- Planning on getting hazmat endorsement, so if that gives a bonus, then great.
- Pet policy (not a must, but would be nice).

We've got our eyes on Abilene, Freymiller and KLLM. Not sure on Covenant Transport. Still researching.

 

Yeah I know it's a lot to ask, but still appreciate your suggestions nonetheless. Not expecting miracles or perfect companies that exactly match the wishlist.

I'll add your suggestions to the list we're looking into.

 

Thanks for all the suggestions. I've got a pre-hire letter from Covenant Transport, and I'll start CDL classes on June 12th.

I'm nervous but excited!

 

Thank you!!!
