    Hey everyone... I have a buddy that is finally about to get his CDL. His top options are May trucking & covenant transport out of Chattanooga I believe. Which one do you think he should go with? @Chinatown if you can chime in I'd appreciate it.

    Definitely not Covenant.

    I’m guessing, you haven’t searched around this place?

    Covenant prefers teams.
    Where is his location and does he prefer teams or solo for the long haul?

    Is he from Texas or Tennessee? Knowing this helps me give him choices.

    Covenant equals teams. May is solo. They are quite disimular in that most people prefer one or the other.

    How many hours is his cdl school?
    Tell him to get all the endorsements like you did.

    I think May is ok, but probably can make more money elsewhere doing the same job as with May.

    He's in Houston, TX. He should be making an account here soon. As a rookie, which company would you prefer?

    May over Covenant for solo driving.

    Lots of good choices in Houston.
