LandAir and Ozark are good companies. my husband started out with Swift and J B Hunt. you have to have a year or so experience ( some 6 months) before you can choose any company you want. good luck to you. look on the web. there are lots of companies to choose from.

It depends on where you live and if you want to be home every night. If you want OTR driving there are a great deal of companies. As far as the best again it depends on what your looking for. J.B. Hunt. CRST, England, are just a few. These companies will keep you busy and you will be home maybe every 3 to 4 weeks. I think they also offer training so you won't have to put out the funds to get your CDL. Good luck, it is a great experience.

first you need to decide what you want for home time, then what type of trucking to get into(reefer, flatbed, dry van, auto hauling)
check out this link for a great trucking message board and ask the professionals
do your homework- start a journal on each company and write down the pros and cons of each before deciding
good profession- drivers who are safe and reliable will have no problem finding work for the rest of their lives

Old Dominion pays well and has decent benefits. Covenant is a good company to get started up with.

Back in the day Yellow was the company, I don't even know if they're still around to be honest with you.
