Well i'm in a pickle...

US Xpress, Knight, Schneider, Swift, CR England, JB Hunt, Werner, Prime....just to name a few. Put your time in and research the next company to see where you want to go.

If you are able to put in three years and keep a clean record, you will pretty much be able to write your own ticket. You'll be 24 then. Not bad for a guy in his early 20's.

Why on Earth you want to go to May is beyond me. 61mph trucks and electronic logs. And that 61mph applies to O/O as well as Company drivers.

 

If you're under the minimum wage requirement, I'd get a local job for a year, it'll give you a reference, some pay for several months, and some skill behind the wheel locally even with smaller vans.

 

W & S is very hard to get into as a recent grad and especially if you're young – they'll want to "re-train you" their way (not a bad thing from what I've read, W & S are hard-core and only want the best of the best)

Swift, Werner or the dreaded *CR England as *THE last resort! Depends on your goal(s) but bottom-line, you need to start somewhere and stay put for at least 1 year, 2 years is better and that will get you into a Walmart, Fedex or UPS (dedicated account) which is local and/or regional (Union-based too, don't knock it - those UPS guys make great money after 5 years and have amazing benefits)

I'd go with Swift, I've heard that their flat-bed training is top-notch (if you ever consider flatbed, very tough but the pay-scale is better)

BTW, I 'm NOT a "Swifty" nor a recruiter (Never, EVER believe ANYTHING a recruiter tells you, its all about signing you on) I drive locally in Central NJ.

Good Luck!!!
