Hi From Northern IL

Welcome to the forum and to trucking! You’ll either love it or hate it lol.

 

Hello there driver. I'm from northern Illinois as well if you don't mind which school are you going to?

 

Welcome aboard. You’ll find so much real world info here. It’s awesome.

 

If you are interested in dry van, get a year in somewhere and then check out Cox Transfer out of Eureka Ill. You are right in their hiring area and they are a darn good company to work for.

You have a good plan. Time for a change before having serious health problems.
If you're a military veteran, www.usaa.com has health, dental, vision insurance.
We'll try and give you some options on trucking companies that are decent, in addition to the ones you're looking at now. Get all the endorsements before graduation from school because that gives you more options of companies to choose from.
PI&I Motor Express - Teamsters Union and hires new cdl grads. Health insurance is cheap compared to non-union companies. This company hauls steel.

 

Britton Transport - has an excellent reputation. Health insurance is free for the driver,plus you can take a pet and family with you and there's no fee; the company pays the fee.
