Can't Make up my Mind

If your thinking Prime, have you considered flatbed or tanker ? Even less sit time.and they pay better

 

Im leaning toward US Xpress right now myself mainly because of the newer trucks and there driver tech system. Im only 21 so im not too worried about the money im sure it will be just fine for what I need for now but my main goal is to go somewhere that I can learn as much as I can as easily as possible. And with everything US Xpress has I think that it would be the best place to start off and get experience to go somewhere and make more doing LTL or something in the future.

 

Out of the 3 companies you listed, I'd say Prime is your best bet, and if you're in decent physical condition, go flatbed. That's where the money is, and flatbedding they can't wait to get you in most of the time. US Xpress I've been hearing some bad things about how they treat their drivers, but they do have some nice equipment... so does Prime though. Dry van is the red headed step-child of trucking, so expect shipper/receivers to treat you as such. If you go Dry Van or Reefer, I'd try to find a company that pays detention after 2 hrs... those are usually the guys sitting the least at a dock because no company wants to pay detention pay. I've not heard anything about JR Schugel. In any company you go to work for, try to stay away from lease purchases (they'll try to get you in one) unless you have a large sum of money in reserve... LP's are designed to make the company money, not you... keep that in mind and you'll be ok

 

Schneider will train new drivers on tanker, thats the only company i know of.

 

Prime will

 

So will Schneider

 

Prime is a good company and with newer equipment
