newbie

I am just starting in this field. I am amazed at how many companies want to hire me yet have heard horror stories from truckers on youtube. I want to pick a company that I will at least be able to pay my bills and be shown a little respect. I would really like your input. I need to make a decision in the next couple of days. Thanks Lags

 

I live in Michigan, between Detroit and Ann Arbor. I went to 5 week school, took road test, went to another course for safety a decision driving course. I have hazmat, tankers, double. I guess my biggest question is ..... are there any companies that have female trainers? I was told many companies did at the school but now I am finding they don't.

 

I don't have the passport or TWIC

 

Thank you for getting back with me Chinatown. I still trying to figure out this website. I have spoken with NTB and they do not have a female trainer at this time. I spoke with Knight and they will have a female trainer available in 3 to 4 weeks as of yesterday. I may have to get over it and go with a male trainer. It just seem like if you have to live on a truck with a stranger for a month or two it would be easier with the same gender.

 

I just called NTB after reading your message and they do have day training as you said and I am placing an app with them today! Thank you so very much Chinatown!!
