CFI or Heyl or Paper Transport as my first job...
You are right PackRat. That's why I joined this forum. Those Indeed, Glass Door reviews can be very confusing and biased, full of bad energy. Experienced drivers are who I trust most.
Don't believe reviews that you see online from spots like "Indeed", "Glass Door", etc. The best reviews are truly by speaking with many, many actual drivers.

Thanks so much Dave for your input on Georgia Pacific dedicated. Looks like I am not ready for that. My preference is dry van OTR 48 states, I would like to see this beautiful country and not only southeast and that's why I put CFI on the top of my list. CFI is also the one that has overall best reviews from current and ex employees.
If I've gotta pick from the three you offer I would go with CFI. They'll give you great support to start your career.
Nothing wrong with the rest but I would suggest that doing a dedicated thing for Georgia Pacific could be a tough way to start. I hauled a bunch of loads for them and I'm glad I had some time under my belt before I did so.
Now for a little unsolicited advice: it's a big world out there. You can likely thrive at most any company that hires new drivers. There are many training diaries and many company profiles etc. on this site. The company that works best for you is likely the one that can offer you the type of cargo you want to pull, the sort of home time arrangement you need, and can meet any other requirements specific to your needs.
My first post here. I love reading on this forum, looking for advice now. Got my Class A CDL, X, T and P endorsements, tomorrow is my last day at school, need to make big decision who to start career with. I have narrowed my selection to these three: CFI, Heyl (Zephyrhills, FL) and Paper Transport (PTI-Dedicated, Southeast, main customer Georgia Pacific). My main goal for the first year is to operate safe equipment, get trained properly and get fair treatment. I will think about money my second year. Your input will greatly be appreciated. Thanks so much.

Great. Good to know Dave. Heyl is then the company that fit my needs and desire too. Another big plus with Heyl is their Zephyrhills terminal which is aprox. 1 hour drive from my home. CFI let their drivers take their trucks home but because I live in Pinellas county and there really is no place to park, maybe just one but I will have to pay for that and it often has no available spots.
