Profile For JOSEPH G.

I spoke to both companies and they will both accept me! Your telling me I should choose a company that suites my needs and i get that. But that's kinda why I'm here asking for your professional opinion. I wanna work for a good company that cares about their drivers and pays well for new driver.

They're both very good and very similar companies. It really comes down to pay and benefits, and the home time you can get from each.

I don't think I would worry about your friend training you. On the one hand that's pretty cool. But training only lasts a very short amount of time. It's far more important that you choose the company that suits you well for the long term. You'll want to stay there a minimum of one year and if you do a great job there's an excellent chance you'll like it and you'll want to stay much longer.

Have you actually applied and been accepted to both companies? If not, make sure you apply and find out. People tend to assume they can work anywhere they like but these companies do not hire every inexperienced driver that's qualified. They tend to pick and choose.

We always recommend that people apply to as many companies as possible, find out who is willing to give you a shot, and then choose the one you like best. You can apply to 7 different paid CDL training programs at once with one quick form here on our site:

Is it more profitable to drive solo OTR. Or can you make more money teaming up with a pal? Sorry all I'm new and I want to ask all these questions before I go on into school

As the subject implies. What's the best way to obtain my cdl. A buddy of mines was saying I should get my permit first from a dmv??

Me and a friend (who has 3 1/2 years experience) are looking to team up OTR. I have zero experience. My question is which company should I go with, swift or usxpress? He is currently working at usxpress and has been there for 6 months. He has also spoke to a recruiter there about becoming a trainer so he can teach me when I get straight outta school. Any advice would be apperciated!! Thanks!
