    Hello all. First I would like to say that all the experienced truckers have givin me alot to think about.

    I will be starting TDI in Murfreesboro on monday. What would be a good starter company? I am an Army Vet with 11 yrs as an 88M. Or short for truck driver in army terms.

    @Chinatown I live in Clarksville, TN and would like to know wbo would be a good starter company with possiable 9/11 Apprenticeship. Not a have to but figure it would help while getting the first year out of the way.

    Any help is much appreciated.

    I'm from Robertson County; born & raised about 50 miles from the front gate at Ft. Campbell.
    Schneider Bulk - tankers is a good place to get started. @19d went there to use his VA Apprenticeship. Can make between $1000 - $1500 weekly there.
    Melton Truck Lines - flatbed
    Contract Freighters - www.cfidrive.com - dry van
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    I'd try for Schneider Bulk as a first choice.

    I went to TDI out of Christiana, TN. It was a good school. I ended up driving for Schwerman out of KY. Working on getting my GI Bill Apprenticeship paperwork done.

    I worked for Schwerman for 5 years in Nashville. What do you haul in Kentucky?
