Recommend Gordon for first year?

Hello,

I'm a few days from CDL testing, so have been looking at companies. Being in Seattle area, Gordon was of interest for my first year since it seems it can provide both OTR and more regional/west coast options.

I was reading some of the threads and noticed that Gordon was just acquired this year.

Just wanted to get some opinions/feedback from those familiar with Gordon if that acquisition might bring some additional issues for someone in their first year? Or might it open some opportunities, chances to get some good miles if I work through it while some other employees might jump to other companies?

If you think it's best I might stay away from Gordon right now, any other good first year OTR/regional companies for me up here in Seattle? I was going to check out Interstate as well.

Thanks in advance, looking forward to getting started!

 

Yes, jbourque that was kind of the the crux of my question. If people think Gordon would be a good company for my first year given the recent acquisition, if they had any insight to possible changes from the acquisition (positive, negative) etc that might occur this next 1-2 years.
