    I'm going to school to start a driving career. Have read a lot of forums about which companies are the best to start your driving career with. I'm looking for a company that will give me an honest shake for someone who is not afraid to do what they must do to succeed. The only real conclusion I can get is to stay as far away from CRE as possible. After that, it's a crap shoot. Any thoughts, or recommendations to my dilemma? I live in Omaha. And, I've heard enough about CRE to make me want to consider digging ditches.

    Ya know... My highschool principal told me I'd be digging ditches the rest of my life after I signed the papers to drop out. Ya know what I told him? " I like the smell of fresh dirt and I'm not afraid to work hard" school LEO walked me out with a handshake lol.


    Any company you choose will be good enough to get your feet wet. 9/10 they are aware you're just there temporarily. And so you should be aware as well.

    I bet you...The guy that picks up the students from the bus station and takes them to the roach motel/school gets more miles than one of their drivers

    With all the gold the drivers in the rap video are wearing I figured they are making about $200k a year now

    It's true with the price of fuel dropping and the aerodynamic trucks you could easily make 200k

    Averitt will get you home every weekend. They are both a start up for some students but most of us have found it as a home to stay at since they give new openings spots to current employees first among other things.
