Dont over think it. Just know your first year will be horrible. But looking at the big picture, a year isn't much. I can stand on my head for a year (not really but you get the drift). You won't find a perfect company. Find one that fits some of your minimum requirements and go with it. If you think it wait too much or read up too much on it, you'll think yourself out of doing it. I think I know enough to know these things I just stated so I'm just diving in head first, going to be as nice as I can, learn as much as I can and shovel poop with a smile in my face for the next year. Good luck friend.

The Force is strong with this one. Much research the padawan has done, impressed I am.
I don't know if you've ruled them out, but Schneider doesn't force teaming. They make up for it in other asinine ways, but they don't force teaming.VeganTrucker, kiwi23 and simpleman78 Thank this. -
4-8 weeks of school, 4-8 weeks with a trainer (which does suck) is a maximum of 4 months, after that its up to you how its gonna be. Money might not be great for some because of who they can get hired on with out of school. I am driving for 7 months with Crete and I am at .45 cents per mile. And Crete has the miles. So don't believe that all of your first year will be horrible and don't necessarily think you can't make money fairly quickly compared to other long term careers. Also don't believe that you have to job hop after your first year to make more money. You might like where you are at. If you have felonies and dui's on your record, then yes, it will take longer to make more because only certain companies will hire you, but if your records are good there isn't a reason you can't do well if you keep the left door closed and have a good work ethic.WingNut72 and simpleman78 Thank this. -
