    Howard seems to be a pretty decent company. I almost went to work for them myself after I got my CDL. I ended up with BTC out of Memphis instead. The nice thing about Howard is that they pull mostly their own freight (transformers) that don't have to be tarped. That's a big plus. They seem to have decent shape trucks and trailers.

    Don't hesitate to call the recruiter yourself and ask what is going on.

    Stick with them for at least a year with no major problems, and you will be golden.

    Do a search for "Howard" on this website and you will get a bit more info. Good luck to you.

    Hey man, do mind giving me the name & number of your recruiter? I'll be finished with school Tuesday and one of my instructors told me they hired out of my school. Also, do you have any idea of what their hiring requirements are?

    Allrighty, just got off the phone with them. They are technically hiring at the moment but they will not be taking on ANY new drivers until at least the 1st of the year....That may be why you havent heard from them yet. I sure will be putting in my app with them...their kenly location is only about 20-30 minutes away. :)
