    Hi guys,

    Well I have decided to get into trucking again. I was wondering if anyone has current information on all three. Which is the lessor of all evil???? What are the average miles like for all three?? All help is appreciative. Also if you know any central fl companies that will a driver at 23, please let me know. Also does USX still require that you lease or team from central fl??

    On here I have heard the least amount of negative talk about Western Express. I checked them out and their pay per mile did not sounds very good to me. Thats about all I know. If I had to pick I would prolly go with Swift. They have to have plenty of freight out there and I have heard some people that are very pleased with them.

    I've said before, I'll say it again. EEEENNNIIIEE-MEEEENIE-MINEEEEE MO! Pull the trigger on anyone and bend over.

    Western is #3 on my list if it was me. Really wouldn't do them at all! 2 of them want you to run legal.

    Read my sig line and and tell me if I am right.

    Western didn't used to hire from central Florida,don't know if that has changed.. With Werner you may have a chance of something dedicated depending where in Fl. you live to, not sure about the others.... Good luck wherever you decide!!

    I live in Melbourne FL by Cape Caneveral. I do know three Western drivers that live here.

    XLS,

    I am very serious. But before I pull the trigger I want some facts. About each company. Is Swift still at 62mph?? I only certain parts of the forum; hence why I am asking. I am not asking for everyone to make my decision, just looking for facts and figures.

    Yep still at 62 probably always will be. We had a conversation earlier this year on the phone. What happened at Swift when you applied? You said they wanted to hire you and run team.

    You did a refresher course IIRC? Gonna have to do another?

    The slow season is upon us. Better go wherever you can get a job.

    I don't understand why you haven't been rolling yet. We had that conversation when I was with my mentor back in March.

    I grossed over $1000 last week rolling 62mph.

    All these wanna beeeez want to drive a fast truck. Why? What you need to do is DRIVE A TRUCK!

    You telling me Schneider isn't hiring in Florida?

    Quit lolly gagging around and jump in! The diesel's warm!

    I've seen your posts all over Kinghunter but I don't know your story. Were you in for a while and then stepped away? Aren't you the guy working with Wal-mart? 123456 and Chompi have been very helpful to me in my research. Have you looked at Windy Hill in Eustis? Their recruiter(Donna) said she will be visiting the school I'm going to be attending.
