Which of these 3 is best (Recent Grad)?

I got my class A in October, and just started at Schneider. Going to do OTR (12 on/2 off). They were give me an extremely competitive pay rate and, you can read here in the forums, will keep the miles coming to you. They have an orientation that'll last about 3 weeks before you're out on your own, but it's pretty useful stuff (they're real big on safety, too).

I can already see that joining the pumpkin patch was definitely a good idea, and I am glad with my choice. Good company, with good people who (so far at least) truly seem to care.

 

The 10 speed shouldn't be much of a problem - you'll get plenty of practice during orientation.

After your phone interview, they'll do a typical background check and whatnot, and if all is good a drug test, then schedule you for orientation.

Usually, if you want the ball to get rolling real quick, you can be in orientation in 2 weeks or less from your phone interview (at least that was the case for me).

I'm not a veteran or anything, but I am familiar with the recruiting process and orientation and whatnot, so if you have any questions or anything PM me

 

Better pick one quit cuz mega carriers will tell you to go back to school once you hit that 90 days b.s.

 

Yep but not all companies are that way,some smaller companies may work with with you if it been no more than 6 months,some smaller outfits may not care about that as long you did attend a trucking school.

 

i guess it depends on your needs,

 

From what I have read and heard from other drivers Schneider is a good starter company, USX would be my second choice. I hear at TA they try hard to suck you into a lease, and if you dont end up leasing with them by your 6 months, you will be sitting waiting for loads
