Ive wanted to be a professional driver for as long as I've been able to drive. I dont have the experience and Im looking into company sponsored training. Ive read so many post about lots of different companies and dont know where to start. Ive read the good posts and bad. Who's best for a wanna be? I considered Steven's, but Im having second thoughts about them after reading some of these posts. I thought about Swift as a starter company but man thats too many bad posts. What do you think? I dont what to make a bad choice, my family is at stake here. Your advice will be GREATLY appreciated.
Who's best for wanna be's?

Sorry i just realized i posted at the wrong section. should have been in the newbe sect. i dont want to be chewed and spit out but i want to obtain my cdl and i dont have the funds to get one on my own. plus ill never truely be happy w/ my life if i dont try. i cant drive down the road w/o wishing that i was the one behind the wheel of every truck that i see. i go on websites like peterbilt, kenworth, freightliner, etc. just to imagine myself behind the wheel. You have to start somewhere. im just gonna have to stick it out to get the experience and move on to some place better. i called a trucking school here in Oklahoma and pleasantly surprised that the recruiter for the school advised me that i could come and learn w/ them, but im not promised a job. And if i took out a loan to pay for school, id be looking for work and trying to pay back the loan all at the same time. by the time i found something, i would have forgotten most of what ive learned. yeah the trucking industry is a harsh industry, from what ive heard, but im willing to sacrafice and do whatever i have to to live out my dream of becoming a professional driver.

Thank you. I still havent made up my mind on where to go but maybe leaning toward Swift but still unsure. Still reading posts. Until then I guess ill stick w/ American Long Haul. Its the closest im gonna get til i make up my mind where to apply. Hoping to know by July. i hear a few things and my cousin was driving for them for a while. He doesnt recommend them because of his experience w/ them. He quit because they said that they would send him on a route toward home for Christmas, then sent him to New Hampshire. We're in Tulsa,Ok. But Im hard headed and will still consider them. I thought about Steven's but i think i onlt like them because they put u in my second favorite truck...T-2000. Ill be out there soon, cant wait!!!!!!!
