New Wannabe Lady Trucker from MN

I have been doing more research and I've found more suitable companies that I can hire on with.
In order, they are:
1. Roehl reefer out of Albert Lea, MN
2. Wel Companies
3. KLLM Transport
4. Con-Way
5. Schneider
I really did think that Werner was a better company until I read thread after thread of how they screw over their drivers and how high the turnover is. I want to thank all who had a hand in exposing Werner for me before I made a huge mistake.

 

Hey Gitty, good to see you again on my thread! How have you been? I will call and ask them tomorrow.

 

123456, What would make you choose Schneider over Roehl? I'm just curious. Oh and thank you for opening my eyes just a bit more. Mucho appreciato!

 

Independent, It sounds like you were not happy as a driver. Sorry to hear that.
I, on the other hand know what I'm getting into and what it will be like because I know what to expect and how I can make it better for myself. I won't be tethered to my truck when I'm off duty, so right there it will be a more desirable existence. I also have two uncles who have been counseling me as to the ways of the road, pitfalls and all. A lot of their suggestions will work for me in making my quality of life better while on the road.
Thank you Independent for pointing out the negatives because they are needed too.

 

I did check out Wel and the only problem is that they have no paid orientation. I don't know if that means no paid training also but I can't afford to go 6 weeks or more without pay of any kind. Do you know the details Gitty?
I'm sure I will have the same problem with working too much when I get behind the wheel.
