Hi, I am attending a truck driving school and should graduate in a couple of weeks. There are so many companies to chose from and quite honestly I really don't even know which questions to ask the recruiters. Could someone give me some guidance on this? I want to go otr and I also need a company that will allow me to bring my dog with me. I have done some research and have called and talked to some recruiters but need all the help I can get, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
Which company to work for?

Word of advice - most, if not all, recruiters will tell you whatever you want to hear instead of the truth until they get your butt in a seat. It's their job to get you into one of their trucks and most of them will use whatever shady tactics they need to accomplish that. As a general rule, the bigger the company, the more they'll lie to you.rabbiporkchop, DaveHaze and Canned Spam Thank this. -

All the companies I listed hire new cdl grads. Some websites aren't up to date and may still have "experience required" so ignore that and apply.
Submit as many applications as you want; the more the better.DaveHaze Thanks this. -
