who is the best company to work for for a truck driving team?
Asked by sunshineonmyshoulder
My boyfriend and me are going to truck driving school and would like to drive together as a team and make good money. I have been reading literally hundreds of ads for trucking companies and they all seem to claim the best pay, least turn-over, and best benefits. I would like to hear what a truck driver knows about what companies are the best. Thank you.

Best Answer:
Been in the trucking industry since 1976. Done everything from solo company driver to owner operator. Have teamed over three million miles. Have driven well over five million. The larger companys are the way to go. What a team has to do to make good money is get on with a company that is set up for actual team operations. That means a company that does a lot of drop and hooks. Sitting while being loaded or unloaded isn't profitable no matter if they pay for you to sit there on not. It doesn't come close to what you earn when the trucks going down the road. So, make sure they have a good team operation available before you sign on. Some of the better com[panies that use to require several years of experience are now accepting driving grads. They all have 800 numbers, so call and ask alot of questions. Also don't change jobs a lot, as this will go against you also. When you call, ask for driver recruitment and tell them what you are looking for. Good Luck. You get to see the country for free.

I heard that JB Hunt is good but I'm not sure if it's the best. You can inquire more from any other reliable source.
