    RE West in Lebanon Tn have a good program for new drivers. I drove for them for 2 yrs and loved the company and everyone there. I was out of driving for a few yrs now I am headed to Maverick to learn flatbed. West will typically have you home on the weekends but every now and then I had to stay out. They haul alot of water heaters that you have to assist unload, not any big deal. You get extra pay for that also. Donna Tomlinson is the lady to talk to she is very easy to work with. Hope you find what you are looking for, stay safe.

    Id strongly suggest finding a small owner operation of 2-10 trucks on paper logs. (If you want to make money). You'd be much more appreciated for your work, and will make twice more money after your first month, than you'd be driving for those big comps
