Where to start? Which company is best for me?

Lmao. Reminds me of bj and the bear or something. Videos like that will scare off anyone that's been in trucking a long time

 

They are are training company that relies predominately on new guys coming right out of CDL school

Everyone has to start somewhere...It is what it is...

 

Don't forget to top it off wearing loads of fake gold jewelery and a story about how you just drive for a hobby, because you're very wealthy.

 

I can tell just by watching the video. I liked the scene where all those drivers were walking together shoulder to shoulder. Reminded me of an old western movie. Makes me want to quit my job and fill out an online app then fly to wherever and start in the morning.

 

Welcome to the forum albionfog.You sound like you're not asking for much pertaining to trucking.So I say go for it when you're ready.After reading most your post I think any company would be more then happy to have you drive for them.

 

You must listen to channel 19 from time to time. Lol

 

Since you are not going to do this for about a year then you can go to a truckstop and get a couple of the little books that they have for drivers to look at when bored and go thru them and call different companies and ask questions. Have you a list of particular questions and concerns that you will ask them and cross the ones off that do not fit you then the ones that you think you can deal with go thru that list and see which one has better perks than others and go from there. That way you can get the info on the companies and when you do decide to do it you will have made a decision. Hope this helps.

 

It took a lifetime to get what I have. If you get a truck that has A/C & Heat, your lucky. There not Safety Items. I find it takes about $45,000.00 a year to drive one of these things. $ 190,000.00 in revenue. Werner, JB, Swift, ect knows this. You lead, or you follow. If you are smart, you get out of it. Play it 6 years, then get your own truck, learn. It's not easy, but it's worth it.

 

Seems like you have many special requests....are you sure that you're ready to be a trucker?
