    You have your age listed as 20. Believe you must be 21 before any of those will hire......

    I'm getting my CDL from a CTDS (ATI) and I've decided on Werner. My reason is because they have the newest equip per Volume of trucks on the road (7400 Tractors, 15 to 17,000 Trailers) all double bunks and their the only Company doing paperless logs, They are also using IPASS (don't remember the name for the weigh station IPASS) so if the weigh stations are packed you continue through. They also have the most Termanals than any other Co. , and within the last 5 yrs. the've aquired Terminals in Australia, Canada, Mexico and are looking into europe next and they have stock options. What that means is their not going to be soley depended on U.S. Production and Transport......It's already going to be their load before it arrives here, job security in tough times:yes2557:.

    I would say from what I have read swift would be the best choice, but I have heard swift raised there age requirement to 23 unless you have been or are in the military then you only have to be 21. I can't remember where I heard this it might have been on here, so you might want to call swift before you decide on them.

    Werner is not the only company using paperless logs. Many companies have them.
