    There is no perfect company, just as there is no perfect job. Some are worse than others though.

    Rule #1 about truckers: If we feel that we have a job with a good company, we aren't going to advertise.

    Experience is overrated. If you need proof just go out on the road and look at all the drivers with decades of experience who still can't drive a lick. Like McKlakin said, at least you haven't had the time to develop bad habits.

    The lack of general driving experience will be a huge hindrance to get hired on your part, even with a mega carrier.

    Most of them want at the very least a few years of driving under your belt in a four wheeler, as to make sure that you're competent on the road in general. No point in putting a guy in a truck that doesn't recognize a yield sign.

    I'm not trying to disuade you, so much as I'm trying to alert you to the fact; that this is more than just a small issue.
