<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dylan747, post: 4624371, member: 165519&quot;]Regardless of what company you decide to go with you need to do in depth research and determine for yourself which one is a good fit for you. As far as the bigger companies go they look at you more or less as a number. Noone truly gets to know you and most of the time they could care less if your having issues. Now on occasion you will come accross a DM that will keep you running and tried to get you home when you want it. As far as swift, I&#039;ve got an amazing DM, nonstop running unless I need to take care of personal issues in which he gives me a day or however long I need to complete them. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now as far as what company you go with, again it&#039;s up to you and do your research. I can&#039;t emphasize that enough. Don&#039;t go off of hear say. It&#039;s unreliable and bias. I know from experience that one of the people in my class was originally with a company that paid team drivers 33 cents a mile that the truck ran and at the end of the day the 2 drivers split that so they were really only making about 16.5 cents for every miles the truck went. They obviously left for that and because their equipment for training had been altered to make it alot harder to use. (Aka clutch spring was wound 2x&#039;s as tight as with a normal truck). </p><p><br /></p><p>As for training, I would look into company training you for example swift, CR England, Schneider, ext. for the simple fact that regardless of what company you try to go to most are going to require 6 months to 2 years of clean experience(no accidents) to be hired on. So the ball and chain that you&#039;ll be locked into is really for your benefit. I know for previous government workers with swift it&#039;s a 13 month commitment after which you have your cdl for no charge. If you do decide to go this route you need to stick with it. If you end up going 12 months after training and leave you own the full amount of tuition. Reguardless of how long you were with them or what they might say. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now some companies and even some of the smaller O/O &quot;fleets&quot; offer to take the tuition from the company and pay it. Again research your options and come up with the best solution for YOU. At the end of the day that&#039;s all that matters. </p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck. I hope you find the right place.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
