Its JB's strategy to spend more on recruiters and less on the accidents & service failures that green drivers cause. Why waste big $ on training to have 60%+ wash out when you can just have your horde of commissioned headhunters lure in folks with (mostly false) promises of better money.
BTW don't count on getting to many long runs at JB or Pumpkin. When I'm driving my stretch of 80 between Reno and Sacramento those are the two carriers whose equipment I see the most traveling by rail.
Put me down as a big vote for neither.
Cadillac, I would see if you can get local work. Depending on where you live you can often bypass the year of indentured servitude with a bottom rung long haul outfit and move directly to the $18-20/hr local job.
If you are willing to work a bit more you can earn good money in flat bedding.
Where I live I got a truly free and clear CDL from a LTL company in exchange for being a dockworker for about four months.
