I get from reading the forums that the first year of driving will suck, doesn't seem to matter who you work for. And maybe you might earn 35k. So, is there an advantage to signing with a company that pays for the CDL class or paying for it yourself? Read that people have grills, crock pots, etc., for their comfort but does anyone have RV type toilets with them, like the chemical toilets? What about satellite radio, do companies pay for them or is that something I would have to carry with me?
I have retired from fed service and looking at 2nd career, been wanting to do this since the 80's when my mother was working at the AZ port of entry on I-10. Would appreciate your response and experiences.
Read the forum, still have couple of questions?

Navajo is a decent outfit; I'd work there.
If you can post the ad about Navajo paying for CDL school, I'd like to see it. That's a good benefit.

Some companies have satellite radio, refrigerators, APU, television, power for computers,etc. and other amenities included in the trucks and many don't charge a fee for that.
Freymiller www.drive4freymiller.com is another good refrigerated company with fancy trucks and also has tuition reimbursement for drivers that recently graduated from a cdl school; the details for that are on the website under "Restore Program."

Britton Transport is another good outfit that hires new cdl grads. You will need a passport or passport card if you want any Canada runs.Last edited: Jan 10, 2018
