They hire straight out of school. I spoke to the recruiter already Pretty crazy OD company is hiring grads

Is that something they will hire someone fresh out of school for? I am still pretty new at this and I know I have to pay my "dues". I can't have the best thing out there with the experience I have. I am not getting rich doing this, but I live comfortably. I made some poor decisions before I decided on this career and it makes it a bit harder. But to get to where I want to be I know I have to do what I am doing now. I chose flat bedding because it does pay more per mile starting up. It is a lot of work sometimes but that is something I enjoy.

Hmmm I see what your saying... What do you think about doing OD loads then? Transport national is doing a 1k a week gaurentee

Well I have a friend in TMC and lately he's been hauling lumber and starving.... As for mileage being a regional driver is going to be hard to really pull in the miles where as percentage can add up to with less miles no?

Hauling*

Yea I really do like TMC. My only concern is I don't want stuck just husking lumber......

The issue is money. I can't afford to pull in 600 net a week. I'd rather do percentage

Just out of curiosity why just those 2? There are others. I drive for melton and it has been a great company this far. Everything I was promised they delivered on. I get have been getting around 2100 miles a week. And everyone has been so pleasant. Other drivers and my dm have been so helpful along the way. It feels like a family to me. If you want to discuss this in further detail we can talk. Pm me and I will shoot you my number.

Hi everyone I live in Pa and I am looking at a couple different flatbed companies. Yourga
Transport national
TMC
PGT
I was just wondering if anybody has some info on them. I just wanted to know what your average pay was and are the recruiters blowing smoke up my rear end? I'm just trying to find a company that pays okay and is a good place to start up
