Which Company Would You Suggest?

Hey Robert, thank you for your advice, I also have been looking at the benefits, I spoke with Prime today as a matter of fact, they stated that because I was terminated from my last full time job (even though I have had another job for 4 years, the same job) that they couldn't hire me for 6 months! I figured that they would be the best option for me as they had what I was looking for as far as home time, pay and benefits. I'm now looking at CRST. I need to get this ball rolling and can't wait for 6 months. I have my permit and medical card already, it really shouldn't be that hard to find a company that I could stick with but it's proving more difficult than I expected! C. R. England isn't off the table but the way the recruiter skimmed over the bad stuff is not what I'm looking for, I want upfront, clear answers and I am actually getting them from CRST and Prime obviously. I also understand that I will be gone for some time especially at the start however, C. R. England also stated that 6 weeks is the minimum you will be gone from start of first class to the first time you can even ASK for home time. I'm good with 6 weeks but there is no guarantee even after you ask for home time that you will be there until you finish phase 2. That's not just 6 weeks it's 12. That's 3 entire months, I can't go into this being gone from day one for 3 months. Honestly, that's kind of the minimum for C. R. England. There is always the possibility of being able to go home to get your permit and see your family for a few hours but it's not even close to a guarantee....

Check out my company, Millis Transfer. School is 21 days and then you go out with a trainer for 15,000 miles. You can go home between school and going out with your trainer and you can work it out with your trainer to go home during your 15,000 miles. In total, it will be 3 weeks of school and anywhere from 4-6 weeks with your trainer... depending on how often you go home... before you go solo.

Once you go solo, If you you go OTR , you will need to be out at least 3 weeks at a time. If you go "regional," you will be home every weekend. In order to go regional , you will need to reside within a certain distance of one of our terminals.

You can use links here, on this site, to apply/start a conversation with Millis. Just be upfront about what you are able/willing to do and they will be honest/upfront with you.
