New Class A holder got a question for everyone.

Thank you!

 

I have applied at FedEx Freight for a class B position. But definitely will remember them for the future!

 

Honestly, May has a terminal like 30 minutes from me. Knight is 1-2 hours away. Melton told me I would probably get a load 100-200 miles away and then deadhead home.

I can definitely understand that I am new and would need training. My biggest fear is being stuck in a truck for months on end with someone I cannot stand. Plus, they make you double up with someone during the hotel for orientation.
Not to say that I know everything, obviously not as I am a new driver, but being a driver for nearly 30 years, driven across country many times, my dad being an o/o, I have a strong knowledge about this. One of the reasons why I am interested in trucking and have done so well already.

One person told me that it took him 6 months just to get those 30K miles, that's a long time being stuck making a daily minimum and being stuck with someone.

Idk, this is a hard decision lol

 

Thank you for the info!

 

Thank you for your reply, but I don't in any way have too much confidence. I am a level headed, clean record driver here. Was a Federal employee for nearly 20 years. And I certainly ain't relying on these stupid YouTube videos or internet, as you know, you can't believe half of it anyways.

I am mainly hoping to just get the real facts about each company, possibly from current employees. And then hope that will help make my decision easier.
