Newbie needs advice

I agree with you A.T.! Here is a list to get you started! These are all companies that are hiring in your area, which in-turn means they are running freight in your area, thus will be able to get you home to see the wife and kids more often.

*Central Refrigerated
*Stevens
*Butler Transport
*Heartland
*Forward Air
*Wil-Trans
*Land Span
*England
*United Road Services
*Western Freightways
*Precision Motor Transport
*Knight
*Pepsi (local)
*Quality Carriers
*Smith
*NFI
*Us Express
*CDN Logistics
*Bridge Terminal Transport
*Amerigas
*Us Freightways
*3P Delivery

Good luck, get to work!

 

you can cross Stevens and Central off that list, at least as of august when I talked to both of those companies recruiters they were only hireing new drivers that wanted to go threw there schools....So since you already have your CDL your not what there looking for.



American Trucker

 

getting into trucking is just a gamble you have guys like me that got lucky and found the 1 and only company I have ever worked for 4 the last 15 years and then you have guys that have worked 4 15 companies in the last 10, at every company you gonna have guys that love it and your gonna have guys that hate it doing your research wont really help you all companies say the will do this but when you get their its different . pick 1 and hope you get lucky but remember Murphys Law when everything is going good boom something bad happens its always like that in trucking you got to roll with the punches
