Some One Help Me, New In Trucking What Compani Is The Best For Otr!!

Another thing to consider is how many miles a company can offer you per week. One company may pay more per mile, but if you get less miles you still won't be making as much money. The company I'm at starts out right in that average beginner range ($0.38), but they've got all the miles I can handle and then some. I could easily run 3500 miles a week every week if I had the stamina for that. They're a smaller company too (<100 trucks) and I think that makes a big difference as far as how they treat you and how well you are dispatched. Reading these forums, you'll see lots of stories about people at big companies who don't get enough miles, who have problems with their dispatchers, etc. I consider myself very lucky that I didn't get involved with stuff like that. I don't think that kind of stuff tends to happen when everybody knows each other by name. It might be harder to find, but you might be able to find a smaller company in your area that will train you and offer you similar perks.

Also look into other benefits that they offer, such as whether they pay the premiums for health insurance, whether they will match retirement account contributions (free money!), extra pay for things like tarping, crossing the border, fuel bonuses, cell phone reimbursement, etc.
