Trucking Companies? Your wisdom, inputs, hear says, etc.

What subject did you teach? As a sub, I taught all subjects. However, subbing is drying up where I am, and, I'm getting back into trucking. I'll be working with ONE of those that you listed. In three weeks I'll be in Fontana, CA to see how well I handle a truck. Luckilly I already have my Class A, but, I was never good with gears. Oh well.

ERB TRANSPORT in Ontario, Tough to get in, but they are hiring and worth trying.

If you have experience and have a CLEAN, I mean a CLEAN RECORD..

They have a tough hiring process. They really screen you and your past.

Drug Tests, Road Test, Screening of your past employers...they check all.

That is what makes them so good. Your BENEFIT and mine "if hired' is YOU get to work with the best people at one of the Better Transportation Companies in the World.

They all lie,cheat and steal from the driver. Trucking isnt worth a sh#t anymore.

!4 years and 5 as an owner.

I worked for Werner for 2 years. Not bad. I didnt make a whole lot of money. I did get good care for my truck. They really took good care of all my equipment.

While you're gaining your experience, any company that trains well will do. Study them. Make notes about where they haul (south, north, northeast, 48 states, near your home, etc). All of them probably offer the same rate of pay based upon experience. All of them require a minimum amount of training.

what about warrener trucking

They're all the same!

usxpress is the worst i repeat the worst trucking company to ever exist ,

they told me if i didnt go to pick up a load (when i was out of hours) or i would be fired

the dispatcher that told me to do this was brenda strickland out of the lexington nc terminal. watch out for her

[raisethepot]

Best training is Schneider out of greenbay. That being said Schneider is not a home for a driver to stay! After a year of Schneider get with Crete Carriers or Heartland Express for top pay. Avoid at all costs Cr England, USA Trucking, Covenent, Werner, US Express. For one reason or an other these are the worst. Hope this helps... I have 10 years on the road runing mid west and mainly north east.

[gichmaster]

MOST companies are as bad the next. They all pay within a few cents of each other.

you have to choose the carrier based on credit risk (whether or not they pay you on time), home time, and lanes travelled.

i don't like being forced dispatched, so that;s a big issue for me.

[mybigbearron]

I tend to think it all averages out. I've gotten calls from Schneider and Werner.  For the first year, I need good training and experience. I suppose either one could help with that.

This is rediculous, it's absolutley a loss to the school system. This reminds me of the time I got suspended for 3 days after someone took a photo of me with my underwear strap showing. Sometimes, people overreact and act like you've killed someone.

[BobbyBrady2000]

Since you aren't tied to the school system anymore why don't you move to the Philippines with little bear?

[mybigbearron]

That's easier said than done. I still have to make a living, and all the money I make here can/will go further there, so I'm still working on the retirement concerns.

Thanks.
