Hello, I'm new ro the site and seeking some advice. Ive had my class A for 3 and a half years now. Ive done mostly class B driving, and for the last year and a half ive been driving a school bus (mainly for home time with kids). I had several tt driving trips too, but now it's not cutting it. Every job Im trying to apply for wants tt experience, and I only have eauivalent of a month. I have a big family and I want to make good money to support them. Whats a good company for, essentially a beginner, to start with that has good pay and reasonable/good home time? Ive been thinking about Prime and Swift, but what else is out there? Also, what should I realistically expect and look for with companies. Right now money is my main priority. Any ifo will help. Thanks

We see this type of question all the time. First; look @ all the companies listed on here and go to their websites to see what/where they're hiring. You need to do your own research FIRST. Then ask the questions you couldn't find answers for. Prime, Swift, Schneider, TMC & a bunch of others hire new drivers. They each offer different opportunities in different parts of the country. Good luck and please ask after you've done your research.
