Yet another plz help thread

First of all these mega companies have 1,000's of drivers. Most real men dont whine like #######. Fact is every company has good and bad. I worked for one of the lowest paying #### companies supposedly out there. Guess what? Had a great experience overall. Learned a lot. Was there some annoying #### going on? Yeah, big deal so does working at the grocery store.

 

Really? I had no idea. I got my cdl on my own then my company (small moving company) and they sent me otr right away. Then had no problem getting my next job.

 

The second job is easy to get because you have some experience; the first one is the problem with majority of drivers that don't attend school because they have a cdl but no experience or formal training.

 

Eager I work for Prime. After looking though your hometime needs I don't Prime is a good fit for you. Our policy is one day home per week out with a max of 4 days home at one time and they like you to be out for 3wks. Otherwise Prime meets all your needs, pay; $200/wk is loaned to you for the first 2-4wks until you pass your cdl test, then $700/wk while with a trainer for I believe 30, 000 miles(6-8wks), then 43cpm once in your own truck. Free cdl training with a one year contract $3, 000 due if you break the contract or 1/2 that if you stay 6mo.

It sounds like you have a lot on your plate to stay home more often for. I know knight used to offer 7 out 7 home, 14 out 7 home, and 21 out 7 home.

 

Maybe look into Roehl? Not sure if you're in their hiring area, but I know they have some fairly flexible hometime.

 

We have a neighbour who works for prime and loves it. His truck is clean as a whistle and top shape even old as it is! Good luck.
