SRT or STEVENS....

SRT is less out of pocket for school and pays better overall and has more varieties of freight than stevens it seems. They also allow pets.

stevens pays less, school cost more and from what I am told they typically have fewer miles. They also have apu and built I'm inverter where srt does not.

Anyone here have opinions of either? I am about driving my old lady bat **** :D

Hey there Mr. M. 1st off welcome to the TT. Glad you found a place where the truth is king and advice is like true like an arrow: straight and true. 2nd off: Calm down man!!!! Breath!!! 3rd: Do u have your CDL-permit?? 4th: You need to grab a notepad and write down what u want to do in trucking and stop worrying about companies who has what and who doesn't . You need to look at where u want to spend your 1st year. 5th: in reference to 3rd; if u don't have your cdl permit ; study the HRT(High Road Training program) to get you up to snuff and u can be ahead of others who didn't study .

In short Mr. M, you re doing fine it just that u need to do the following that I wrote down and remember your 1st year with any company that will train you is Very important, idk how I can stressed that. It going to be hard and rough, but if u listen to the wisdom of these wise truckers You will make it in this industry. Just wishing u the best

We have a driver that is starting with this company or already has. It's a flat bed company that drives blue kw's mostly.

Is it me or does someone have a small problem with collecting stuff. Now I know sometimes you need that little extra to secure a load and trying to improvise on site can be a pain but from what I have seen there are places other than here to store excess wood and the like. Pretty sure a Dot officer might have a few words to say about this. I guess the phrase "Catwalk must be clean and free of debris" does not apply to some people. Maybe he likes walking on this stuff to get up on his trailer? Who knows.

What was he thinking??! He wasn't thinking at all nor was he being smart!! wow it just boggle the mind that ppls are truly lazy and plain stupid to even store stuff like that ..

@ brett: I truly thank you from the bottom of my heart that u guys pointed me in the right way / yes ima gonna study and work on me getting my nc driver's license and to keep it clean and then go for my nc cdl permit and then give my choice trucking company a call..

To me it seem like a long wait, is it? I truly want to return to work and be productive again...

Does that cover cdl permit too ?? in the meantime what about studying for my cdl shall I stop that too as well ??

Truth is I don't have my driver license which I am working on, and what do I have to do to get myself out of this runt im stuck in? Shall I stop studying and stop looking for a trucking companies? And focus on getting my driver license from N.Carolina ?? What shall I do and I am sorry , I do want to become a trucker but I must know if I am doing this right or wrong. If I am doing this wrong please explain this to me and set me straight and guide me to the right road.

Im sorry for saying this in the beginning but now its out and I must know what steps ( the right steps) to get my trucking career on the right road. thank you

Ty brett for the feedback and i hope i find what im looking for more feedback

Welcome to TT sandra. hope u get all ur questions answers and your dreams fulfilled. please tell us more about yourself if u please.

make yourself aware of what T.T. has to offer u.

once again welcome aboard

Zach the training material here is all u need to pass your tests good luck to u

my reason : i have chosen them because overall heard nothin but good things about them.

To me, Knight Transportation fits the billet / shine above the rest of my choices..... from their training program to the many options of driving choices ...wow!!!

what im asking for is any drivers {current or former} can tell me their own personal reason why they chosen knight will be GREATLY appreciated and received ...

ty and plz keep it clean & respectful...ty

The recruiter called back, she was happy I passed the tests. No problem without the medical card, they handle that part when I get to school. @lilrichie, I would talk to whoever you're planning to go with to get more info on their process, but you can definitely take the written tests in NC without a medical card.

ty bud a. your experience gave me hope and fire to do this . good luck @ prime, i have chosen knight so i can closer to my folks and they have a terminal right here in n.carolina.. good luck to u
