{"replyTo":"","text":"The company I drive for is awesome, there is no forced dispatch, the medical for just you is $38 a month and for a family it’s better than I paid working for the federal government, they take good care of their drivers, the training pay is $700 a week for 6 weeks, I would steer clear of some of the larger company’s, if you’re interested let me know, and no I’m no recruiter, just a disabled vet that doesn’t like seeing people screw themselves 😊","replyToPid":0}

","text":"Unfortunately you are most likely going to pay your dues, And try to find one of the larger carriers Because of insurance issues, Due to you having no experience to insure you is expensive, The larger carriers are self insured, And pay crap, And treat you like a number, The one advantage you have is you do already have your CDL I'm not bragging at all, But I went to CR England once my training phases were over I was offered solo at $.24 cents per mile, or teams with a split $.31 cpm or $.34 cpm for doing Relief and Recovery flying out of state picking up abandoned tractors or from repair shops, I did that for 8 months then went to a smaller carrier who gave me a chance I went from $430. a week at CR England to $1,300 OTR. that was about 5 yrs. ago Just look up and do your research on whatever Company you choose and don't get talked into leasing a truck. get your experience and get away from the larger carriers they are thieves. Good luck and I hope it helps.","replyToPid":39857}

{"replyTo":"","text":"It depends on what you want to haul, if you already have a cdl, if you want to go OTR or regional. Etc. \nI would be careful with carriers that lock you into a contract for pennies/mi if they train you. I’d also be leery of carriers that try to get you to lease a truck right out of school.

{"replyTo":"","text":"Of course you hear more horror stories about the larger carriers. If for example they employ 70% of all drivers, then 70% of all negative feedback you hear is about them. \nIn my opinion, it’s better to start out with one of them. They hold your hand into the industry and pay for, while introducing you to all the costs, planning, and other little things that you would be expected to know elsewhere.\n\nI don’t know about all of them, but I think between CR England, Werner, and Swift, Swift is the way to go.
