    Hi All,
    I'm a newbe as well and still in CDL school with some decisions to make. Can anyone suggest some of the better companies for a newbe to break in with? I'm trying to not step into a nightmare or on a land mine right out of boot camp. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. I'm in the Midwest.

    Get on with Swift. Good company. Great equipment and plenty of miles. You must play by the book. Walmart is also a good choice. NFI is also a good choice and will train newbies.
     
    Kannonball Thanks this.

    Check out TransAm in Olathe KS just don't sign a lease. Learn on their dime, not yours.
