Not truckin yet but gonna start, need help

Well, two companies to stay away from for certain are CR England and CRST.

If the only option you really have is to go with a company training program, the do your research. No matter how you do your training, find the company that best suits what YOU need.

We do have a couple of trucker lingo threads on here, but I don't remember where they are right now.

Reefer is a refrigerated trailer used to haul frozen or refrigerated food stuffs.

 

Take my advice with a grain of salt cause I am not a driver yet & haven't worked OTR yet, but when I was looking into companies to work for i'd say every company has pro's & con's

Some pay more per mile(but don't let this be your only factor in deciding who to work for), but you may get less miles.

some pay for layovers,loading/unloading & some don't

some allow spouses to ride with you, others do not

some allow pets, others do not

some are really good with hometime others are more for people who like to be OTR a lot, etc.

Some have nicer trucks, others don't, etc

Some do hazmat, some don't, etc

Some have mostly/exclusivly Auto tranny's, others mostly/exclusivly manual trans

It just comes down to what you want personally.

There is a company perfect for your interest/goals, it just may take some digging around to see who matches up best with what you plan to get out of it.

It took me almost a month before I decided on a company I think i'll match up good with.
