Newb Researching

Hey there! I am planning to apply to a company with paid CDL training in October, but I am still not sold on which one to choose. So I have a few questions and maybe you all could do me the courtesy of some advice/pointers!

1. I can’t seem to find a comprehensive list of terminals/truck stops/depots anywhere. This will be a factor for my choice, as I would be taking home time in either Los Angeles/Myrtle Beach/New Haven. I don’t have a family or kids and am more than willing to be otr for weeks, so having the flexibility to drop off and pick up the tractor in various locations would be a blessing.

2. I am a woman and would definitely want a female trainer. Is it unheard of to request this?

3. I want to bring a pet otr as soon as I can. I have an affinity for pitts but I am aware that some companies have breed bans and weight restrictions.

4. Preferably I would pursue a company that would offer no-slip as soon as possible. I can handle slip as long as is necessary, but I would prefer to that my space is indeed mine.

5. After a few years I might consider o/o, but I’m not sold and haven’t heard many reasonable arguments in its favor.

I know there will be nay-sayers and “trolls” who have opinions as well as others who genuinely want to help the newbs. Whatever you choose to write, I appreciate your time and contribution to the industry! 🤘😎🤘
