So here's the plan After weeks of searching My Girl and decided we are going to Prime Inc for our training we want to Team after that. Anyone have any ideas on a good solid company that we can team up with. I recently heard some good things about US Xpress They pay 7000 for your school and have decent benefits. Believe it or not I also was told good stuff about Werner Enterprises. Any input will help.

Thanks all for the advise. I will start looking into it. Brett this place is great you have tons of info very helpful. Thank you.

As you know from my last post that I'm going back to driving. I already have my CLASS A , Had it since 2005 but have not driven since then and only for a few months. I have talked to almost every Company listed that has a school and not one of them will take me because I have a Class A. I don't get it. I explain to them that I still need school but wont have to test but will even sit through the week of study. I went to AIT here in Phoenix last Friday, They told me I would have to test over for my CDL How the hell does that work I already have a Valid Class A I just got my new medical card. I told them I would pay and take the entire class just wont have to go to the DMV. I have another appointment with them on Tuesday. I have a flawless driving record . No convictions. I'm a prime candidate for any company out there. My girl wants to go to school with me get her CDL and Team drive. She to has a flawless record. Something has to give here. Anyone hear of anything like this? I'm ready to get this **** going and get on the road. Some how some way I will make this happen.

Thanks all for the input. I'm not really concerned with Reefer. Roehl has a flat bed division that's where I really wanted to go. Yes everything happens for reason. I'm going to Knight in the Am. talk with them in person. I believe its not as easy to bull**** someone in person as it is over the phone. Let all know what happens.

Those that read my last post know that after 8 yrs I'm making another attempt at trucking. I'm in a great mind set and my heart is 100% into making this happen. However I was very disappointed Monday morning when I got the call from Roehl Transport saying they would NOT accept me in their school cause I live in Arizona. Because I have very little training I have to go to school all over again. I did so much research on Roehl and no where could I find that they wont take people from this part of the country. I do hold a Class A CDL but if you don't drive its as good as not having one, I do need to train again that's a fact. Ok just a minor set back. I decided now to go to Knight's Training and work for them, My research shows that they, for the most part are good company. Anyone have any input on this I want to hear it. The Good the bad and Ugly. Thank everyone....

Thanks all for the insight. I didn't realize about the 7on thing but its something to think about I cant live off of 17K a year. I'm not discourage at all. I'm very thankful for what I'm told or advised on. WT how is experience at Roehl? Did the Recruiters come through on what they told you.? You like the program and the training?

I filled out apps for them and a few others. I like the 7out 7 home. My Son comes out here for the summers so I need to figure it all out. I just put all this into action. I have spent all day on this site and other company sites reading and learning everything I can, trying to do it the right way this time.

Nine years ago I got my CLASS A CDL, went to two different company schools and was unsuccessful due to issues I was having in life at the time. For the last eight years I have worked in the Arizona Prison system. I'm done!!! I'm ready to man up and go back to becoming a successful truck driver. I still hold a Class A CDL have a Perfect driving record. I'm thinking of going to work for Roehl Transport. I have clearly thought this through and at 48 I'm going to make this career change and retire as a veteran trucker. This site is the start of my quest to become successful.. Advise, comments, welcome.
