Best company for new driver to start with

I have read May is a good place to get your feet wet. Check with Watkins Shepard as well. They run up and down the west coast a lot I believe.

 

Guess I'm the lucky one...waiting orientation from Maverick.

 

I was considering Con-Way. Any opinions ???

 

Go with Schneider.

 

May I ask why Newbeav??

 

1) No lies, good DBL's.
2)Well maintained equipment
3)Great regional centers for showers, maintenance, etc.
4)Many options-dry van, intermodal, tankers, etc.
5)Drivers treated with respect.

No, I am not a recruiter....

 

Nothing OTR. Try Sysco, Gordon Food Service, Pepsi, Con-way Freight. Do some research and stay away from the big coolie carriers.

 

why did you go with Maverick?

 

Didn't find to many negative comments from around the fourm or people I asked. Nothing is perfect, you just try to find a happy medium and feel what will work best. Also, I wanted flatbed. Seemed interesting, your more involved with what you are transporting and a better than average training program. Money was better than most, Healthcare is on par with others but, I will be signed up a little sooner than the other companies.

Maverick runs a tight ship!

Still have to pass physical and stuff but, should be ok.
