Just starting out. Who to start with?
So I live in Boise, ID and I am going to The College of Western Idaho Center for Professional Trucking Driving program and will start driving at the beginning of April. I am doing to night and weekend program, which is 23 weeks. 17 weeks of that is at the school and the last 6 weeks is a paid internship with a company. I know any company can do the internship, so I am not worried about that. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on which company would be best to start with? I have a pre-hire letter from Werner Enterprises and am thinking of just going wit them, but since I have plenty of time to chose, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on who to go with? Does anyone know about Pride Transport out of Salt Lake City, UT? I am not worried about what type of freight to start hauling, it will either be dry van or reffers to start, depending on the company. If anyone could give me some great suggestions on what would be the best company to start and train with, that would be great. Also, I am thinking of going to Gordon Transport after about 6 months or so. Does anyone have any information on GTI?

Werner or May? 10 or 13 speed?
So I am going through trucking school right now... still. I already have a pre-hire letter from Werner. I am also considering May as an option. I live in Eagle, ID. The closest Werner terminal is in Denver, CO. I will be able to take my truck home with me, but chances are I will not have any good place to park it unless I park it at a truck stop. The closest may terminal is in Payette, ID, which is about an hour away from my house. I will have to park my truck at their terminal up there. I like that May is so close to home for the terminal. I know the pay for both Werner and May trucking, so I am not worried about that. My next thing is that Werner runs almost all 10 speed, where as May runs all 13 speed. So here is what I am wanting to know, hopefully from current drivers and past drivers of Werner and May is what you think about the company and which would better to start with? My second thing I am wanting to know is, which is easier/better to drive, a 10 speed or a 13 speed? Any information I could get would be awesome. Thank you guys.
