Hi everyone. My names mike and I'm 25 years old. I am soon to be starting CDL-A training with a company but am having a really hard time deciding which one to go to. I am certain that I would like to go to a company that has a dry-van division and does not force you to drive teams after training phases are complete. At this point I am thinking of going to Knight or Swift. I really like that swift has the computer simulator training, does anyone know if Knight does as well? Can anyone give me some advice on choosing which one is right for me. I have heard that knight recently bought Swift so I don't know if that will change anything for either company buts its something I was made aware of. Also if anyone has a different company they would suggest I train with that would help also. I know that compensation should not be the biggest concern a new driver has about which company to choose but it is definitely in the top 3 things I am concerned with. The way I see it if I can get a better financial start by going one way or the other I'd like to do so. Any information will help thanks in advance! :)
