    I am in the NW and tried SNI and Prime. They won't touch you after 6 months of no driving experience.

    Is this something new?? Back when I leased with England four years ago, their lease trucks were all frickin 9-speeds and governed at 62.

    A little before our lease was started, they let lease trucks run 68 but because of safety reasons and fuel consumption, they cut them back as well.

    Hey, everybody's gotta start somewhere in this day of age. Sure there may be better companies than the three the OP listed it its all just pretty much hit and miss.

    Well, doesn't help seeing a news story about some Western Express driver that wouldn't stop rocking his truck that was stuck on something and the cops had to shoot out his tires/engine to get him to listen.

    Agreed but, there's gonna be idiots like that in every starter company.

    Just because they're idiots doesn't mean all of them are.

    I got my start with England, one the most hated, criticized and picked on company out there and I didn't pull crap like that. I took the training, gained the experience and moved on to far better things.

    I'm not ashamed to say I got my start with them regardless how many idiots they got driving their trucks.....lol.

    Did you start out driving by leasing or were you a company driver first?. I have no intention of leasing anywhere, but it could be a last ditch option if I can't get that first year under my belt as a company driver.
