Need Help Deciding which company to start my Trucking Career
I got my Class A CDL about 10 yrs ago and started driving for a guy Hauling Belly Dump Trailers and driving Dump Trucks for about 6 months. After the construction season ended I started driving Trash trucks to make ends meet during the Winter season. When Summer came around again I found out the guy I drove for the previous year had screwed over a lot of people and no one (in the Construction field) was going to hire anyone who drove for him. I did not want to go over the road at the time because of my parents health issues I needed to stay close to home. I went to school to be a truck mechanic and have been turning wrenches for the last 4 years and now I am getting ready to go over the Road.
I am from Minnesota and looking for a good company to start with that will train me right and get me a lot of miles with good pay...
any suggestions would be great

Dave, It's very hard work but a lot of fun, I have learned a lot that I can take with me OTR but I got started too late in life.. If you are strong and able and willing to put your body through he'll then by all means it's a rewarding career. I got to know a lot of drivers and learned a lot from them as they learned a lot from me also....just one piece of advice though do your research on who is hiring in your area and what their shops are like.
