Hi, I am new to trucking.I am about to graduate from truck driving school in a couple of weeks.I need help choosing which company to work for. I live in the Stone Mountain Ga area,but was thinking of moving to NC or VA. I got family out there, anyway I've talked with several trucking company's. PAM, WARNER, & McElroy. So my question would be as a rookie how do you choose the right company to drive for & which one(s) should I stay away from?

Look at where the companies run. Do they get to where you will be living or do they have a terminal nearby. DO NOT go by what recruiters tell you. They will say whatever is needed to get a body into a truck. Go to truck stops and talk to drivers. Also stay away from the big companies unless you don't ming being a number on a computer screen.

Welcome to the trucking Industry, You will love it when your getting paid to drive, always keep safety in mind and never let other drivers in traffic get you excited, just do the right thing and you will never get tickets, don't let people bulldog you into a bad move. Check this site out I made for new truckers like you. http://jobsfortruckdrivers.blogspot.com/
