Cargo Transporters
Heard nothing but good things about em. Very picky about whom they hire too. They mostly run east of the Mississippi.

Cargo Transporters - I Start Monday
Alright, no problem.
They train you for 8 weeks if you are a new driver. During those 8 weeks you are getting paid 17 CPM for all dispatched miles. After you get in your own truck you will get paid 38 CPM with a 1 cent raise every 6 months up to 41 CPM. The miles are practical miles.
The trucks are FL Cascadias with Smartshift, EPUs, and an array of things to make your job easier like air slide tandems and in cab document scanning.
The one thing that a lot of people don't seem to like is the event recorder. There is a camera watching the road and the drivers seat that records when you brake hard or make a sharp turn or swerve. The company doesn't see it unless you did something illegal or was not safe.
They hire both recent CDL graduates and experienced drivers.
They haul dry vans and the hiring area is as follows:
Florida
Georgia
Maryland
North Carolina
Ohio
South Carolina
Virginia
West Virginia.
