Newbie CDL Graduate recent info on trainer companies?
Hey everyone, my name is Jay! I am a new CDL A grad and new to Trucking Truth. I am currently looking for my new home on the road for my first complete year. My goal is to put my year in maybe a bit more and eventually get into fuel tanker locally. Ive read repeatedly my first year is my hardest year so i am bracing myself for that while i apply to many jobs that hire new inexperienced drivers. I do NOT expect to get rich early on either haha. Im a cautious /safe driver, l love driving, i have great work ethic, i dont complain much but i also dont take a liking to not receiving what was promised if i pulled through on my end.
Ive chosen a few places that im strongly considering and would appreciate any input from recent hires or anyone with some insight. I am looking at-
-PRIME INC -WILSON LOGISTICS -WERNER ENTERPRISES (only dollar tree position is available) -NORTHERN REFRIGERATED -SWIFT (seems like they kinda pay the least?)
If anyone has current info or feelings about these carriers id greatly appreciate your input! P.s. i also considered Schneider but I fudged that one up.
