Any info on good company for drivers with little experience???

Sounds justifiable. Unless you're way back in the hills Kentucky should be an easy place to work out of, but I'm not in tune with what's available there. @Chinatown is THE MAN when it comes to solid information here, give heed to what he says.

 

Listen to @Chinatown he knows his stuff ...check out all of his recommendations

 

You already know how to drive; these 2 companies basically just want to teach you their procedures. You will be with a driver that's been with the company awhile and knows the company protocols with customers and paperwork, qualcom, etc. You don't need any more than that.
TransAm trucks are really nice with Apu, Flatscreen tv, and set up right for the driver.
Watkins-Shepard has a terminal in Berea and you will probably have a new or newer Volvo with automatic transmission. That Berea terminal pulls for a dedicated customer, but I don't know what they haul there; it's dry van.

 

Give Averitt a call esp. if you would be interested in Auto's and home 1.5 to 2 days every week.

 

Inbox me with any questions I drive TL for them.

 

Have you put serious thought into leaving your kids for weeks at a time and seeing them a couple days a month and maybe missing Christmas? Can you find a way to make it locally? It would suck to give up a local job with young kids at home. I am a local driver with 2 young kids. I make decent money but I know I could make more elsewhere but I have a semi normal schedule and am home everyday, I know my kids would rather have me home then have the extra toys and things I could buy if I made more money.

 

Do you live near London,KY? If so, Schneider has a dedicated account at Walmart Distribution Center there.
