    None of the three. Give maverick and tmc a call. Probably the best starter companies out there. Miles and miles above g those three you listed.

    3 bad choices

    Slow down. Do more research.

    Never heard a single good word about CRE in my research, 50/50 reviews on Steven's and TransAm came to my school twice. First time was a recruiter, second time was a driver with his truck. Beautiful truck but neither really went into pay, and sorta seems rushed to change the subject when it for asked as well as when asked by my main instructor what the turnover rate was. To me that's a red flag. Although I take a drivers word over a recruiter, not one that's paid to show up at a school. On the road is a different story.

    Be careful with that idea of a driver's word. Especially when it's a company offering a recruitment bonus like all the
    Big companies do. Just as many sleazy drivers out here trying to get that 500 dollar bonus as sleazy recruiters

    Theres better but out of those 3 I'd choose Stevens cause if their training program and TransAm is automatics, that wont benefit you when going to another company that doesnt operate automatics. If you need good training check at Roehl, Prime. Others that are good are Schneider and JBS. After getting some experience you will find better

    None are good in my opinion, keep looking and doing research... If you have done research on any of those company's you would not have them be in the top 3. Whatever you do, get cr England out of your head forever. I hear NOTHING but bad.

    I wouldn't choose any of the three either. They are all bottom feeders
