Needed Advice - Finding a company that works with Army Reserve schedule

From what I have heard TMC has the best pay for new drivers. They have nice equipment, but most big companies are the same as far as benefits and how you are treated. I was active as an 18K Spec. Forces for 8 yrs and am a reservist now, most all companies will work with your schedule if they have it in advance. Good Luck!

 

Look for companies that are VA aproved and will work with Post 9/11 G.I. Bill. You can collect the BAH portion of the chapter 33 for a year under the apprenticeship program.That's around 13k cash in a year.I know Schneider is one of the companies.

These are a few with some info..

worked at averitt for 13 years.....before I went to Iraq as KBR truckdriver..drove in Iraq...from feb 2004 till dec 2011....applied to go back to work at averitt......they said we would love to have you back....but you havent driven under dot regs in last 8 years....so averitt wouldnt take me back at all.....went to Crete ....so far I have averaged a little over 2800 miles each week....Crete is very pro-military.....So far coming to Crete has been good....if you come to work at Crete...tell them truck 33568 sent you.....and I will split the $1000 recruit money I get ....with you

 

I liked averitt too....I was there for 13 years....Averitt is legit...but Crete is also....Averitt said if I would drive for somebody else for 6 months..under dot rules....they would hire me back.....but Crete gave me a chance....thats says a lot to me...no way i would leave Crete now...
