    the starter companies PRIME, SWIFT, SCHNEIDER, etc.... are kind of very similar you just have to figure out your poison. Probably agree with Tyson or the Starter's..... Go by the local truckstop see if you can find a Tyson driver and talk to them.

    Where is your location? Might be a dozen or more to compare.
    Prime is ok, but I'd probably go with Tyson. One of their Atlanta drivers said by his 2nd year he was making $72K. That's what he posted anyway.

    Each driver has to decide what's best or not.
    What we recommend on this forum is to not jump on the first job offer; shop around and make comparisons based on what you think you'd like. Lots to choose from; car hauling, refrigerated, dry van. flatbed, tankers.
     
    Tx Countryboy, faux_maestro and Coffey Thank this.
