Professional Opinion Needed
Hello Gentlemen,
I am a 49 yr old guy who spent 25 years behind a desk managing the distribution side of the trans industry. After being laid off in late 2005 I decided to change careers. Last July, I completed the good old Swift 3 week program at one of the local driving schools. Worked for Swift for 5 months before I had to leave due to family medical issues. I have looked for trucking work in the Sacramento, CA. area , as I have a family who I would like to see more often than 3 days after 5 weeks out. It has been 2 months and nothing has panned out. So I am contemplating returning to the 11 western region runs.
I have been researching different trucking companies, other than Swift (whom I really didn't have problems with other than home time). I only have 5 months experience driving, with a clean record so far. I have boiled it down to a few companies and wanted your opinion. Keep in mind, I do think of pay / miles and home time as top priority. I am seriously looking at Crete, May Trucking, and Knight Transportation. I appreciate any opinions good and bad.
Thanks
