"Input On Where I Should Go?...My Top 4 Choices"...

I'm 23 from the philly area...my intrest at my young age is flatbed for OTR...i'm currently in truck driving school and i graduate december...i'm pretty sure most of you guys know more about these companies then i do so please help me out with your input on where i should go...

This is how my list is without me really knowing to much about the companies...just judgin from websites/recruiters and what my instructors say...

1. TMC...

2. Swift...

3. Werner...

Are there any other good companies that do flatbed and hire students?...let me know!...

 

TMC.....there is no doubt TMC is the best you have on your list, and they accept newbies after you have your Class A cdl-they have very good training and awesome equipment, they are on the top of my list next on mine are in order

Maverick
Boyd Bros
Melton?
Mcelroy?
Builders Transportation

these are all flatbed companies, and ive heard good and bad, but not so sure about Mcelroy-heard more bad than good, do lots of research here on and you will find all the info you need to make a good decision

Thanks...i'll look up maverick now...only thing i don't like about TMC is the peterbuilts...i like how the volvo's look...to me the volvo's look the best...

 

TMC is the way to go on that list for me but you have to make that dicision on your own. I will say as a recent grad and a newbee TMC has been a very good company to run for been here three months and love it.

 

Average miles you get?...and i know they do percent pay or you can do the milage...what did you pick?...and what is ya gross pay per week?...

 

HEY Minus. good luck to your new driving career. Just have one question for you.
The header for your original post says you have "my top 4 choices..."
But, you only listed three. I was just wondering what the fourth choice is, or was.

 

lol...yea...i was going to put Prime...but after reading they website...from what i understood was you have to lease the trucks from them...i'm not sure if this is true or not...but it kinda confused me...

 

They have company drivers as well. You was looking into maverick. What did you think of them?

 

Maverick Seems ok...application is very confusing though...

 

I use to be with them. Great co and they haul pipe to philly so it would be in your neck of the woods.
