Beginning in the trucking industry

by Marty
(Montclair, VA USA)

I?m preparing to retire and I have chosen trucking as my next career. I have conducted research into the trucking industry, by attending trucking shows, talking with truck drivers from various trucking companies, and reading the websites of the major trucking carriers. I?m a member of OOIDA and subscribe to Landline magazine and a member of ATA.

I have chosen to attend a college level truck school to gain my CDL and education in the industry.

My questions are, of the companies listed below, which are the best in this communities blogs opinion is suited for a new company student driver who is new to the industry and wants to drive over the road to include the US and Mexico. I?m willing to stay out for several months at a time, without a wife and children who are out on their own I have the flex ability to even drive in other countries.

Let me know you opinions and comments. I plan to begin March of 2010.

I look forward to hearing your comments and opinions and hope to see you at a truck stop next year.
