    Not every company is desperate.
    I would agree that most of them are.

    Short answer is no, the company I work for is currently on a hiring freeze. I'm the newest one here and they don't plan on hiring again until spring unless a truck comes open, which don't happen often here.

    Both of those companies sound about the same to me. Anyone that hires truck drivers right out of truck driving school generally has a high turnover rate excluding the LTL companies

    Where are companies supposed to hire drivers from? Hire only experienced drivers? How does a driver get experience if no one will touch them?

    I appreciate your radio comments RP, but you sound like one of the trolls who stalk the mega carriers forums and give their drivers a hard time for trying to establish a career. Every one of the supa truckass here started as a green horn somewhere.

    Why do grown men behave this way?

    If it doesn't apply to you then respect. If it does, let's just be cool man.

    Short question, is your carrier a mega?

    Why are they "desperate"? They don't seem to be hurting for cash or drivers.

    If they hire student drivers and advertise on craigslist they have a bunch of recently vacated trucks. On the other hand, companies like Gilster Mary Lee don't need to advertise at all and only hire with a couple years experience because they have no turn over at all until people retire.
