    Hi guys, i passed my road test and now have my CDL. Am very happy and thank you all for your encouragement. Please i need suggestions on a good company to start with in terms of good pay and weekly home time for new drivers. I am base in Houston TX. I have a wife and 2 kids and wouldn’t want to be out for so long. I need to start driving asap because we are in a financial crisis. But i dont want to make a mistake and rush into a bad company. Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Keep in mind, some companies ads have "experience required" when in fact they hire new cdl grads. Averitt Express is one of them. Companies like this you must ignore "experience required" and apply anyway to get the good jobs.
    Some foodservice companies hire new cdl grads, but it's not on the websites. Foodservice pays well and after you complete the training phase, can make $70K.

    Averitt Express
    Averitt Truckload
    Reinhart Foodservice
    McLane Foodservice
    LaBatt Foodservice
    Grocers Supply
    Central Freight Lines www.drive4centralfreight.com

    Schneider has a dedicated Costco account. Money may not be as good as some of these others, but it's steady, easy work. One driver said it's just drop & hook. Schneider has several dedicated accounts similar. Go to the website and enter your zip code for dedicated accounts.
