    I am new to the forums, I am a 23 yr old male just got my CDL in california . I have no experience at all in trucking.. I passed my dmv w a 8 speed eaton fuller ... and kind of know how to drive a super 10 ...What is a good company for recent CDL grads? beginners? I have been super stressed because I can't find a company most of the ones I see have really bad reviews SWIFT , CRST etc... I am trying to get some experience so I can apply to a local company in a couple years. Any help would be greatly appreaciated!

    @Chinatown

    My recommendations are Jim Palmer and Navajo Express. Reefer and lots of west coast.

    I'm with Schneider and they treat me pretty well here. But our west coast division seems to create "you'll kill yourself from running California all day" reviews. What do I know though, never been there.

    Good luck. And don't freak out lol. Also, for the love of whatever you think is holy, don't go drive for swift or crst.

    As far as megas, I haven't seen that many horribly awful things about roehl, crete, prime, jb hunt... Ok, maybe Crete and prime and jb hunt, but roehl is pretty alright

    Well, that is the reason im stressing because I DO NOT want to go to swift or crst but that is all that pops up when I search companies that take beginners :( lol Navajo Express sounds like a good option!

    Reason you see them all the time is because they spend enormous money on SEO. They have to with the kind of turnover they have. You've already a list, start your research!
