Default new driver

Need info on good starter companies.
Done my search already just wondering what everyone else thinks.

Crete drivers stay away. I know alot of inside info on them. My father knows the big guys and told me to stay away from Crete.

Good Starter companies: U.S. Xpress, Maverick, Roehl, W.H. Transportation, CFI, Transport America, TMC.

It would help us if you told us what part of the Country you live in. Thanks.

CFI hires within your area. Pretty much everyone does. US Express, Schneider. Living close to Atlanta is pretty good

CFI has a great new tuition assistance program and offers other good benefits contact Christine Lathan at CFI 1-800-641-4748 Ext: 5718 for information. I did research also and I am starting orientation on Wednesday. Good luck.

whoever you go with do yourself a favor. Stay with them for at least 6 mos. A year would be better. I job hoped for over 2 years, killed myself financially, and when trying to get the REALLY good jobs killed myself again because I was not considered stable. I am now though but was a tough lesson to learn the hard way.
