Celadon
Topic 11309 | Page 2
I'm currently with Celadon and I'd have to agree with @DB I'm in orientation and I went thru the training program and it took me 8 weeks. I wasn't left behind and passed every test the first time(got a cool little hat and pin for it too!) but the contract is 120k miles. Teams are paid .21 cents all miles and solos are .18 cents per mile. EVERYTHING DB said is a spot on match!!! They have some dang good instructors who will make sure you know what your doing(either by repetitiveness or yelling at you in a constructive criticism type way, but nothing harsh). I was disappointed and considered leaving but I heard someone say "people always think the grass is always greener at another trucking company and it isn't, it's the same" I took that and ran with it. I go back this weekend to continue my last orientation day(my mother was hospitalized so I had to go be with her). It may not be the greenest grass, but I'll water it and make it be what I need it to be, you feel me?

Road call warrior's short list:
Just to put it out there my list is: Swift, Pam, USA, and Celadon.
Just from my reading the posts on TT, it seems most people go to Prime or Celadon.
I am at Swift, no regrets.

I must admit I truly would like to go with Swift, Not that any of the other company's are bad. But Swift has a school in my home state(VA)
