Graduated Driving School and these are my choices

You gotta start somewhere. I would go with one of the 3, get my 1 or 2 years experiance, then move on.

 

Any company that is going to hire you is going to have had a lot of complaints. Think about it this way: If they were a good company, there's plenty of experienced drivers they could go after. If these experienced drivers refuse to work for them, then they're going to have to go after students, huh?

If they do their training anything like the way i was trained, your first 3 months are going to SUCK. I had 1 month of a crap trucking school, 1 month with an owner/operator/trainer, and then after that i was let off to team driving, and the first month of that sucked cause i didnt have a CLUE what i was doing! And honestly, team driving always sucks.

 

Wel would be a good choice being based in dePere. Also try GTI(Gordon) out of GB. They were looking at students a few months ago when a friend of mine was looking to drive OTR.
Roehl is always a decent option.
Good Luck

 

Try Mansur Trucking, Janesville,Wi.

 

I got a up to date thread about WEL but I've never heard any negative about em but I start orientation this mournin so ill let u know how it go

 

We are in FL (I have found this to be a huge problem in finding a job)! My advice is to take the lesser of the evils here. Get your experience, stick it out for that amount of time. Once you have about a year of experience, then move up. I know we'd all love to have the best job right of the bat (I know my newbie husband would love this right now too), BUT we all have to be the little fish in the sea for a while. The experience truckers have earned the right to offers from great companies. We will be at that crossroad one day also! And it will make it that much sweeter (that we were able to stick it out through the "starter" company!

 

My advice go home and find something local, you know home everynight. It can be done if you try. I did and alot of others have too. I know you can you just have to convince yourself that you can. Best advice I can give unless you just want to experiance OTR

 

Not quite sure of other states but stay away from Werner, me being from Michigan, they promised the world and didn't even offer vaseline when they bent me over, from what I understand Michigan drivers get it the worst, not alot a freight up here. Don't know about other states, before you choose, look at the rip-off reports!, they don't lie and could save you alot of grief. I'd still be with Werner if they would have kept their promises. Go to the truckers forum, the questionable companies, click on one of them the link will send you to a page with red on top, Can't mistake the page, slide to the right and put in the company name, if anyone had any really bad problems, it will be there. Good luck! Swift is the worst!
