Trucking Companies 2022

I'm thinking about tanker division that haul liquid food or water but no hazmat stuff (unless i have to ). but I'm researching more about other division like reefer that Nussbaum or prime have.

Been talking to Nussbaum company... guaranteed minimum weekly pay is 1150$ gross. and Does your company offer similar?

Not sure what kind of frieght you want to haul but I think Swift, Western Express are great for multiple freight types, Swift especially because they have like reefer, van, and flatbed and I am not sure if they have tanker. Melton Truck Lines as far as orientation and training goes is my personal preference. They have now increased the amount of time you spend here before going out with a trainer from 3 to 5 days to two weeks and everyday you are working in securing loads, safety, some paperwork and listening and asking questions. This company does a lot for their drivers too. Not going to say that the others are not good just I personally think Melton to be a better choice. They also do a crude ton of different loads to secure and their backing set up is neat for when your practicing in their yard. Their coupling practice is good. They are patient and will go over things quite a lot.

I know Western and Melton have increased driver pay. I got a text about that from Western. With my 10 months of experience I should be making around .53cpm and I have my TWIC card, so thats extra pay. The tarp pay is now $100 per tarping.

Now this is from my personal research and from what the representatives were telling us. They also love to here back from their drivers about their stay at Melton. Now I think Swift does something similar. I have been gone from both Swift and Western for a good minute so some things may have changed.

May God bless your journey!

I just left my old job and now currently at UNOH to get diesel mechanic degree. What are good long haul trucking companies that I can apply to? I want to become a trucker like my grandpa been doing for years but company that he worked for is no longer in business. 1. Prime Inc. nice size company but slow trucks 2. Nussbaum. very good family faith business (my friend now working for this one) 3. Stevens Transport 4. Marten 5. H.O Wolding 6. Veriha (hate yellow paint color) 7. Millis

Is there any other companies that I need put on the list? also, anything you want to say about these companies and how they train. Big part is pay.
