Why not avoid a bad company ?

Frankly, there’s only one important stat and all the rest is just a bunch of hogwash.

All I want to know is do they employ Kentuckians and, if so, how many.

 

Neither do vampires

 

There is a bridge in cali on i8 just once u get out of san diego, its got the suicide hotline posted about every 100ft... It depresses me everytime i go over it because its a nice scenic bridge but i cant even imagine how many dead bodies have hit the dry riverbed below, to make them put up a sign...

 

The times they are a changin' Frankula.
Not just bottom feeder CDL mills train any more; many-many-many medium to big companies train now and some are places a driver may want to stay a while:
Millis, Maverick and Melton - just to keep it to the 'M's'
They all offer free training and guarantees of over $50K to the first year rookie
Maverick does flat beds and (so far as I have seen) has a good reputation for quality securement training and training generally. The starting OTR rate for a rookie fresh off the trainer's truck is 47CPM

New drivers have much better choices now-a-days but, ya know, good news aint sexy - or somthing. We drivers generally prefer the dark, gloomy, threatening, haunted-castle-in-a-lightening-storm kinda news.

 

Companies that hire riff-raff get riff-raff results.
present company excluded of course - please don't bite me

 

Maverick’s HQ looks nice. They’re just a few miles down the road from where I work.

 

May had plenty of riff riff when I was there, but they had some decent folk too, present company included.

The riff raff could always be found hanging around the yard(s) and in the drivers lounge(s). Nothing more nauseating than being subjected to the noise pollution of an overbearing, obnoxious, know-it-all, blowhard. Lol

Thus, why I avoided the yards and lounges like the plague. I showed up for whatever purpose I was sent to the yards for (trailer swap, service, etc..) and then I hit the road pronto, even if only to go 20 miles down the road to a truck stop.
