I'll be heading to school May-Oct for my CDL at Craven Community College. I live in eastern NC and so far, the 2 companies that have stood out for training directly after school have been Epes (because my husband worked for them a while and they have local accounts that I could potentially get into eventually) which have around 1,600 trucks and EZZELL Trucking which is a fairly local company that hubby was talking to that plans to start their own training program around the time I get my CDL, they have around 70-80 trucks and haul wood chips and such.
I am not overly concerned about what my paycheck will be at the start since we live okay on hubby's, but here is where I need your input:
Where will I get the most experience that I can take with me anywhere? OTR with Epes (or another starter company, open to any recommendations), or with EZZELL, the local company that doesn't really leave the state to my knowledge.
Which will look better on future job applications?
Thanks for your time and superior knowledge.
Insight needed from experienced drivers.
