Who should I choose?

Long thread about Henderson here:

http://www.thetruckersreport.com/tr...eads/starting-with-henderson-trucking.288800/

 

What are your priorities, pay, miles, hometime, quality training? Whats most important to you?

 

Stevens has small paychecks.
Swift has driver facing cameras and sound monitoring inside the tractor; can hear you talking.
That's why I wouldn't go with either of those.

 

Henderson trucking school is in Caseyville, IL (st louis area).
I recommend the school and they put you in own room at decent hotel for 3 weeks.
But then after you get cdl they send you home if no trainer available. Might be home couple weeks or more.
Just remember that if they take too long to get trainer, there are other companies that will hire you and train you and make payments on school costs.

 

Since nobody knows what you want, I solved the problem. I put your list of companies into https://www.random.org/lists/ and Swift is your #1 choice!

List Randomizer
There were 5 items in your list. Here they are in random order:

1. Swift
2. Earl Henderson
3. Southern Refrigerated
4. Stevens
5. Knight

I have not worked for any of the companies but I have heard that swift had a lot of freight so they will get you miles and can get you home. But you have to deal with bs like cameras in the truck and a lot of rules

 

Like this:
1. Southern Refrigerated/Henderson (flip a coin)
2. Knight
3. Swift/Stevens.....lol

 

Even though SRT cpm is lower, probably get more miles to make up for it because they run hard coast to coast.
What about accessorial pays? What do SRT and Henderson offer for accessorial pays?
