The simple fact is this, like it or not the big carriers are the best entry point for a new driver. The only way to get a job with most of those big carriers is is to have some form of recent training with a school that has training agreements with those carriers.

All the not liking it in the world doesnt change that fact.

Also, for anyone that wants to bash of the transportation industry, I defy any of those people to point someone like me in a better direction. Tell me of another job that with just 3 weeks of training I can walk out the door and start making $40-$45K or more in my first year and with no previous experience.

Its not for everyone but I am thankful for the way I was treated by the school I went to and the carrier that is feeding my family right now.

The big carriers are NOT the best entry point for a driver . For every one like you that makes it 10 get disgusted or starved out and leave . Do a little reading around here and read the horror stories about trainers from hell . The carrier feeding your family is not typical of training companies .
