    That's because you don't know what you don't know.

    We don't know #### yet, wont for atleast a few years. We acknowledge that as fact. Maybe we will get jaded and hate it in a few years, maybe we will love it. We wont know until we try.

    Choose a good team outfit and you'll be ok and do just fine.
    Contact Old Dominion and get their opinion.
    Here's some more that hire new cdl grads and teams:
    Titan Transfer
    Freymiller
    Schneider Bulk - this is Schneider tanker division.
    Trimac Transportation - coast to coast tankers.
    Quest Global - might cut some slack on the 3 mos. exp. requirement. Call and ask.
    Transport America
    Navajo Express

    Would love to pick your brain on a good outfit. We are trying hard to do our homework and have already been getting phone calls about jobs. We just have no idea how to do our homework besides reading all we can on line about the companies.

    I called Old Dominion a couple days ago and talked to an older woman. To be honest, she was pretty vague and didn't give me much info.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    The woman at Old Dominion must be lazy or filling in for the correct person.

    How do you know a recruiter is lying? Their lips are moving.

    FFE (Frozen Food Express) has an LTL job for teams. Can make $1500 a week for each driver.
    @TravR1 can give you details on that one.

    Seems they don't have that CDL program anymore (in Nashville anyway). Not sure why. I've looked and it's just welding, LPN Nursing and the like. Only thing left here is like 2 private schools and the rest are company sponsored programs.

    Seems to be the same here. We looked at a few schools and most of them are dependent on you working for them. We ended up paying 10 grand for both of us to go to school. My buddy had his GI bill but, he wants to save it in case he wants to go back to school for his masters or something.

    10 grand was kinda hard to swallow but, at least we can go where we please when we please down the road. Us having our freedom was worth the cost, to us.
