Where to go next?

I am 19 years old, have my Class A CDL with all endorsement ( except hazmat ofcourse), and I have been driving local for the last 5 months. When I turn 21 I will have right at 2 years of experience, but am not quite sure of which company I want to start my OTR career with. I have been pulling hoppers, tankers, some flatbed, and some dry vans, as well as hoppers with auger unloads. Been looking at Prime, Maverick, USA Truck, Melton, and Roehl, but am unsure of where I want to go when the time comes. If anyone can shed some more light on this for me, or tell me about other good companies that hire at 21, that would be great!

 

Thanks for the suggestions and encouragement. I know trucking isnt an easy way to earn a living, and a lot of people discourage it. I have started a college degree, worked in a retail situation as a part time job with school, and I can honestly say that even with a not so great company that I am with now, I still like my job and love driving trucks. I want to drive OTR for a while, however, if my situation changes and I want to be home more, I will certainly try to get on with UPS, considering that I have heard nothing but good about driving for them. Thanks again and best of luck to you all as well.

 

I live in southern IA, 30 min south of Des Moines. I'd definitely like to start with a good smaller company, if any will hire at 21. Im fine with being gone a lot while im younger regardless of where I work, but I figure I'll go to regional, or something to get me home a bit more frequently, later on.
