    ok seriously research all of these companies ..... put hours of research into each one and do not let any of these carriers rush you ... TAKE YOUR TIME..... THEY WILL BE THERE IN THE END . DO NOT JUST LET ANY ONE COMPANY SELL YOU OCEAN FRONT PROPERTY IN MONTANA. GET DOCUMENTATION VIA EMAIL OR SNAIL MAIL BUT GET HARD COPIES OF WHAT EVER THEY SEND YOU AND IF THEY DO NOT SEND YOU ANY INFORMATION TO HARD COLD FACTS....... RUN FOREST RUN .... NOW OF THE 6 THAT YOU HAVE LISTED MY PERSONAL CHOICES WOULD BE THIS IN THIS ORDER JUST FROM WHAT I KNOW AND IN PASSING RESEARCH THAT I HAVE DONE.... TMC NUMBER ONE...USA NUMBER 2..... PRIME#3....WERNER#4....RAIDER#5.......CRST #6... GOOD LUCK AND PLEASE DO YOUR SELF A FAVOR GOTO SAFESTAT WEB SITE AND CHECK OUT EACH ONE. THEN GO TO SITES THAT HAVE INFO ON EACH ONE AND RESEARCH AND TALK TO OTHER DRIVERS WHOM HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH THOSE IN QUESTION. DO NOT JUST TAKE ONE PERSONS EXPERIENCE AS GOLD TALK TO MANY THAT HAVE HAD EXPERIENCE WITH THOSE COMPANIES IN QUESTION..... TO DO IT RIGHT IT WILL TAKE SERIOUS RESEARCH BUT IN THE END YOU WILL MAKE THE BEST CHOICE FOR YOU AND YOURS.

    Don't get "pre-hire" confused with actually being hired. "Pre-hire" means you look OK at the beginning and assuming EVERYTHING checks out, you will probably be hired. But there's a big space between "pre-hire" and hired. FYI, a lot of companies don't even do paperwork until you show up at orientation.

    I would go with TMC, your the age they seem to hire, nice trucks, great trainers and plenty of work. I loaded twice last week along side two TMC trucks with trainers and students, I was really impressed by the trainers.

    My .02 would be also #1 TMC great training dont let flatbed scare you its work but Im here to tell you, you wont reget it. #2 Usa from what I hear they have freight and can keep you moving and if you live close to their freight lanes you will be home on weekends or I sould say Could be home weekends TMC will also get you home on weekends. As for the rest of them you have pre-hires from Run there are companies out there that will trian you that are not advertising in the papers just while your in traing do so calling and open up some doors at other places as well.

    #### right. I found that local gas haulers will often give the new guy a shot. Try that. GOOD MONEY in fuel hauling.

    Check out Prime as they have freight. I have heard both good and bad about Raider express. USA would be second choice but that is me.
