Need Help Choosing The Right Company After School
Topic 8618 | Page 1
1 2nd that.. I start my class Monday, and I wanna run all over.. I too have been talking to a lot of companies. As of right now, Melton trucking is topping my list of national companies. The reason why is because of tuition reimbursement, and the fact that they give you a truck that you take home for your off time. But if I have my way, I wanna roll!!!! Plus they re up their tucks every 2 to 3 years so you always have a good reliable ride... I'm also drawn to the local companies because you don't have to deal with big corp B.S.? The owners are right there and the small companies have a good hometown feel? So ya, the choices are many and its very tough to pick one!
Some big companies ain't that bad. I've been working for a major organic food distributor for four years now and yeah its a bit heartless but the benefits and money are glorious.

Indeed many companies to choose from. I'm looking at Crete at the moment.
And Jeremy I heard the money is great at big companies.

Been in school for a month now & won't be finished until four months from now but I've been shopping these vast amount of companies. Got prehires from PTL, Roehl, US Xpress & Schneider. Will be talking to Mclane this weekend.
I know I want to run all 48 states including Canada (hell even Mexico if I can), pet/passenger policy is preferred, not really too pressed for home time either because I just want to run until I can't anymore with decent pay and benefits.
I've been doing my homework on different companies but it also wouldn't hurt to ask the established vets for a helping hand on the matter.
Prehire:
What Exactly Is A Pre-Hire Letter?
Pre-hire letters are acceptance letters from trucking companies to students, or even potential students, to verify placement. The trucking companies are saying in writing that the student, or potential student, appears to meet the company's minimum hiring requirements and is welcome to attend their orientation at the company’s expense once he or she graduates from truck driving school and has their CDL in hand.
We have an excellent article that will help you Understand The Pre-Hire Process.
A Pre-Hire Letter Is Not A Guarantee Of Employment
The people that receive a pre-hire letter are people who meet the company's minimum hiring requirements, but it is not an employment contract. It is an invitation to orientation, and the orientation itself is a prerequisite to employment.
During the orientation you will get a physical, drug screen, and background check done. These and other qualifications must be met before someone in orientation is officially hired.
