Looks like Prime is the one!!

dude screw that. go to central refrigerated. you got experience ask to be a kraft local driver. home on weekends. if not work 4 months then you can prob get on it.

 

Leasing through a company is idiotic (in most cases), do these people lack common sense?

It's the trucking equivalent of Rent-A-Center.

 

Not you, the guys who are giving you #### for going with prime. Bringing the same old spiel, it's not worth the money they pay, you're actually paying to drive from them, prime trucks are soo slow, how you shouldn't be a trucker if you have less than 1 million miles OTR and aren't an O/O, elogs/eobr are the anti-christs(obama) way of keeping the us down, and so on.

You're cool. Let us know how things go with Prime.

 

All of these mega-carriers are like puppy mills or people-eaters. If a trucking company has a recruiting "department" that is due to a booming economy or they are hemmoraging drivers faster than they can replace. You can look at any of these mega-carriers and just about substitute their name and see the same stories. Throw out 50% of the complainers due to the cant fix stupid factor and you will have a fair representation.
I drive a medium sized company where there is more freight than drivers. My company trains as well but doesnt have a "school". Do your homework is the best advice you will get from this site! Good luck!

 

Woah, they should call that the drama board.

 

I have a LT weight Cascadia and it is very small inside, however in saying that I have a fridge, microwave and tv in my truck and do fine even though it is cramped !
Somebody has pics on their profile of a LT weight to give you an idea , just use the search button can't remember who had those pics. I am averaging 2400 miles as a company driver

 

That's some pretty funny stuff. The first guy should go into stand-up, either that or get off the halucenogenic drugs. The guy with 67710 never heard about how to get things fixed... just let 'em know about it, and it get's fixed.

 

Just my 2 cents for what its worth. I have no experience, just a class A permit and will be getting my license next month. I did speak with a recruiter and since I live in the north east I asked to be regional there. She said id be in a light weight, no big deal, and that id be making .47 per mile. That sounds good to me for someone with no experience. When I speak to her again what are some questions I should be asking?

 

SE how is it for people out of NC? I live in NC and been looking into trucking.
