Profile For Allen Fish

Alright everyone i thank you all for putting very helpful knowledge out there. I now know what to look for when looking for a company that will hire me. All you guys rock, its been a worry since i got out of the military whether or not i might actually find something steady and i have with the trucking industry just have to find the right company that fits me and my families needs. Thanks again guys helpful and entertaining

I disagree with those that say online reviews are useless. You just have to use your best judgement. If I was seeing a whole bunch of reviews saying that a certain company does not live up to its promises regarding home time, then I would take that into consideration. I might also try to verify that information in some other way... maybe try to talk to a driver for that company in person,.. like, at a truck stop.

Thats what i was thinking cuz a company can say what ever they want online or on the phone its just i want it to be certain. So if i see people working for those companies i will have to ask thanks for the advice. Anything helps

If you check around this site, you will find that many other people have asked this same question. I'll give you the shortest summarized answer I can:

There are no bad companies, only bad drivers. The bad drivers lay the blame for their shortcomings and failures on their company, by going online and posting a one-sided rant. You'll never hear from the good drivers having good experiences because they are out working and making money.

Bottom line: if you go into it with a positive attitude and solid work ethic, it won't matter which company you choose.

Don't choose based on online reviews, choose based on pay/benefits, home time, routes, etc.

Yes but if what i read about a companies home time online is bad how am i to choose?? Know i mean like i know its away from home a lot but i would like decent home time. But i look something up it says barely any home time.

Ok so im just atarting out and have looked at different companies but they all seem to have low reviews. I want to become a company driver and just want to know if anyone knows of a good company to drive for? Please let me know just curious, thanks in advanced.

Im preparing to go to Cr Englands truck driving school in cedar hills, tx. Are there any suggestions, opinions or recommendations for me? Be 100% honest thank everyone.

I think for us to give you accurate advice, we need to know more about you. As in, married, girlfriend, family intents, what do you want out of life? that sort of thing. This job might be out of align for what your situation will allow. Also, what did you do while in the military might be of some help. What are you goals?

I am married with a toddler, and just wanting a job that i can rely on. I eventually wanna do solo driving i was a forward observer in the military which isnt anything to convert to civilian sector. Idk that mostly it anything else im missing let me know.

My name is allen fish, im 23 and just recently got out of the military. My dad said i should look into this business and i seem to like it so far. I just need some help and or pointers so i know what to do, where to go, and so on. Thanks for the help in advance.
