I've noticed spending time here reading and studying that companies like Maverick, Boyd and Melton (just to name a few) are not mentioned very much if at all. is there a problem with them?

Tim, I am in the middle of CDL training now and have done considerable research on companies. My next door neighbor drove for Conway and loved it. He has since taken a management position with a different company. I am focused on flatbed otherwise (for what its worth) Conway would have my attention.

Will do "Old School" I have lot of work ahead of me to make a sound decision. I am very excited to join the professional truck driving world. I am looking to drive for a company that has high standards and ethics. I came through life with the wisdom that if you turn in hard days work, then you will get paid a full days wage.

I will for sure be here from time to time as I research companies and may even pick the wisdom of the experienced.

Old School, thank you for the advise. I am not only researching Boyd, but also TMC,Maverick and others. I have been able to get some additional info on the others. But finding street talk on Boyd has been a little more difficult.

My family has been in the business for 20 plus years except for me. I took a background in law enforcement and safety. Since completing that sector of my career its time to get into driving. I have a strong work ethic and keep myself in good physical condition. Driving a flatbed will require me to maintain good physical condition and I can enjoy the diversity of the loads carried.

However, I won't settle on the first company that I run into. I like doing my research and then make my decision. Once I commit to them completely.

Thank you for your post. Just to add, I have spoken with the company at length and like what I hear. However I usually don't stop just at that. Looking for someone out there that is willing to share any of their knowledge.

I am in the midst of my CDL training and starting to seriously consider companies. Does anybody have any info on Boyd Brothers?
