Hey everyone! This is my first post but I have been browsing this great informative site for the past 6 months while I contemplated a career in trucking. I have learned a bunch from many of you and had PLENTY of great laughs. Even though I may have not thanked you in a reply I appreciate the time many of you take to help future truckers.

What led me to trucking- I owned a detailing business for the past two and a half years but I found myself without work some days and I hate feeling unproductive. My market area just could not sustain the work flow I wanted so I sold the business. I am now currently in week 2 of a 4 week program at a private CDL school in my area.This morning 12/2/19 our school sent out our applications to their partner carriers and within 4hrs already had a pre-employment interview call with a pre-hire letter. (The recruiter was going to give me a start date but I explained I wanted to do my research). I am looking for decent money, willing to be out 3-4 weeks at a time, wanting to WORK. Also a tuition reimbursement plan preferred, paid 5600$ cash for school :l
Once I get my 1-2 yrs ill jump ship for a better company more than likely.

Out of these companies(school partnered) which would you recommend and why? If company is not on this list I would like to know others as well if possible! Thanks!

Well I’ve found my first company! I won’t disclose the carrier because I put some specific details here. I can say however I am very excited and happy. I cannot thank everyone enough who took the time out of their day to give me advice and recommendations. I’ll likely be in the forums here and there if I have time. May even update on my adventures and how everything is working out. Happy New Year everyone!
