    Who offers the best training to inexperienced CDL holders? Is it safer for a new driver to opt for Percentage pay per load or traditional per mile pay?

    I don't know anything much about any other then Comcar. Comcar is a holding company that operates 4 carriers. A green driver will get the average training. They are not going to get rich, but I know from personal experience Comcar seems to be fair and you can make a living. Only problem that I ran into working for a Comcar carrier seemed that they ran a lot of junk.

    I want as much hands on training as possible. Both driving and securing the loads.

    I started out with TMC for training and stayed around for 5 years. At that time they gave you the option on pay. I would go with percentage. Did you check to see if you are in their hiring area.

    I received a conditional offer letter from all three but I want to make the best choice. I don’t believe in job hopping.

    @Highway Sailor how would you rate TMCs training and overall the way they treat the operator?

    I thought the training was good and I still use what I learned from them. They treated me ok overall. They were always wanting the driver to be more productive with time while they would waste alot of your time.
