The Best Paying Trucking Companies For New Drivers PT 2  

Never heard them ima pin this comment

Pay is only once over the road

I might choose prime for obvious reasons im gonna mention, I originally wanted Halvor Lines but due to my current financial situation and being THC clean for 4 Months, ive heard you can fail hair follicle tests 8+ clean. I haven't found anything on Halvor Lines which was my original choice a Terminal close to home. I don't wanna lose a career before I start it, any help would be appreciated. Also its important for the industry to know how we feel about such things.

@@smokeboi123sooo your saying even being 8months clean people are still failing hair follicles ?! This is a little discouraging just a little though 😮‍💨 I’m not even hitting my 3 months yet but my misunderstanding was hair test only go back 3 months. It’s cool it’s fine just more time to learn the truck and studies first 💪🏼 I’m on my way to get this bad boy (cdl)

@@JoJo-hi2fx Yeah its possible, I'd recommend shaving your whole body haha head too cause, why not? anything you've touched will remain in hair for a long time even if it stops growing into your hair. I'm with you bro, it seems discouraging, but id recommend watching Truck N Hustle's videos, learn as much as you can about logistics and others mistakes. I've been non stop watching videos trying to learn best ways to get under my own authority. Look into "Lease to Own" places for trucks, this one checks for credit, but the next two don't, here's the list Prime won't test for hair, but never call a company they will tell you hair follicle. I know a famous youtuber that called Halvor Lines and the recruiter said its only piss, but I have a few confirms on Prime being better for that, also Prime Inc has a 50k trainer program that will prepare you. Or save get your cdl and own authority. BandmanKevo has a box truck video that shows you everything you need to get started, get your boc-3, UCR, dot numbers, everything you need for your LLC, go do it for free don't pay someone to fill out simple paperwork. I'm currently waiting on pending charges to clear, even tho they were dropped the justice system decided to bring me back to court even tho they through it out so i'm stuck in Kentucky which isn't my home state. Good luck bro www.youtube.com/@trucknhustle www.lonemountaintruck.com/truckleasing/ www.exceleratetrucks.com/ (no credit impact) lrmleasing.com/ (no credit impact)

CONGRATULATIONS QUEEN

Congratulations

Thank You, Still can't get into trucking right now, Just found out my son has Cancer..... I'm still not giving up, just another delay

@@shylincoleporter8347 praying for you

@@shylincoleporter8347congratulations and sad to hear.

Definitely about come check you out

@@chrisdementtrucking thanks man. I’m on my 25k miles with my trainer now

​@@truckingjourneychronicles Hey bro, how is Wilson? I've seen a lot of bad reviews about them.

Of course, i like to get direct answers

Glad it was helpful!

Best of luck!

I agree 1000% , me owning my cdl out right, gives me power to go as I please

Good luck

Without doubt but , the key is local so me posting about local jobs in my area won’t help others around world

Is coke a good company

@@stevo6891 depends what you’re looking for, and what’s available in your area. They have good benefits, and perks, but pepsi has the better retirement if you start out young and stay there. It’s definitely a good place to start if you don’t have much experience. It’s physically demanding, but if you’re happy with 60-80k a year, it can be good. After a year or two, you’ll get on an established route, so you know pretty much every day what you’re doing. It’s good if you have young kids.

@@self-law what are the hours like? Plus does Pepsi put the soda on the shelves?

@@stevo6891 pepsi does less of it, but yes. My experience is that Pepsi sales people do a lot more work stocking but that was my perception from a relatively small market. That may or may not hold true. You’re generally starting around 3-5 am and most days I was back by 3-4. You’ll have your longer and shorter days. If you have a good manager, you’ll load heavy Monday-Wednesday, and Thursday and Friday will be lighter. I also found working at a satellite, or drop yard, was better because you typically have only a 10-15 drivers, and your relationship with your coworkers, and manager, are better.

Nice man!!!

Congratulations

Keep pushing

I did the same thing for frito lay last year

WOW, hook me up, bro!! Are they available in Florida?

How is the home time?

@@camscrazy69 i come home whenever i want

Definitely good research and check comments for me people been dropping gems

My father has been trucking for 32 years, He just left RTI.. Make sure you get a good dispatcher.. Other drivers had load back to back for 2 weeks in advanced and my fathers Dispatcher made him wait 3 days in between loads. After about a month he left since the down time was repeated.

Welcome aboard!

Welcome aboard!

Smart man

Thanks for this intel

Combined transport runs refer, vans, flatbed, glass, heavy step decks, rgn's, multi axle, and wind. They also run dedicated, regional, and all 48

@@RS-cd6fn they hire cdl grads?

@@RS-cd6fn hey do you kno what type of drug test they do ?

​@@RS-cd6fnvery nice. I'll have my CDL this Wednesday. I'm definitely gonna keep this in mind

Do you have to already have your CDL for them or they have a CDL training program as well?

Congratulations

How is it going with Wilson?

@@ReginaldPriceSkillions I made it through my student form with them. Now im OTR with a trainer for 25k miles. Ive got another 2 weeks or so to go

@@r3cklessgames917 how do u like it now? Should I apply there?

Hair follicle test or just UA

It’s definitely before tax

It's always before tax. I'm hearing talk that federal income tax is considered unconstitutional and there may be changes soon. Hopefully good ones

@@tollbootheddie I would love for them to do that!!!!

How you like Wilson so far?

@@tollbootheddielol. Don’t hold your breath, it’ll never happen.

Not at all

Go to prime you’ll thank me later

I will pin this comment

Did they put you in a room by yourself?

Than prime may be routed for you

Are you getting your cdl

@@naofumi9237 I have now had my cdl for 3 months and still getting ready for my 2nd job just due to my first not working out 100% with what I was looking for.

Yeap yeap just make sure you don’t go no where else or they want take you

@@chrisdementtrucking okay

Thank you

did you have to do a hair test?

Update?

@@nicoleraheem1195 I start in October :) training is 900 a week for 1 month, everything paid for, hotel, food, transportation and pay significantly increases after training and becoming CDL licensed.

@@KingNah23 But it's your first school?

Swift, knight, Hirschbach, crete, they love their veterans

Congrats good luck

Try second chance company’s like western express

They dont and they don't help you with a ticket home if you fail

Interesting where you located

@@chrisdementtrucking university park, il got locations everywhere tho

Oh bet that’s near me. I’ll check them out.

They pay

😂 i need more to drive in wyoming all the time

Yes but you will have to have 1 year contract with prime I don’t think we can just leave the company because 1 year contract with prime.

I made $800 a week in training

Never heard of that never happen to me

Yes best thing i could say is repeat everything even away from the truck. Just constantly say it, it will become second nature

Never heard anything bad about them

Urine

I'm not sure if it depends on location, but at Knight I recieved $300 for orientation, and $700 while with my trainer for 2 weeks since I went through the TopGun program

Honestly I’m not sure because alot of places change their producers and are going to hair drug test I recommend waiting if you can and not chances because you don’t not want to fail your drug test

cool thanks a lot bro@@chrisdementtrucking

They’ve lowered it again…now it’s $650 a week training pay

Good to know they went up

I had my cdl prior

Never

Only forward facing cameras

Depends on company

Knight? 4 months

Most of are

If its true that you have to do 50k miles (approximately 5 months) with an otr trainer that's nuts! No way would I spend that amount of time in a truck with someone else. I'm an otr trainer for Roehl and they require 19 - 26 days of otr training depending on the progress of the student.

@@truckertothenight9289 I’m drive for prime. 50k miles does not take 5 months lol it’s 2 to 3 months. If you’re on a trainers truck for 5months and it’s not voluntary there must be some issues 😂

@Devin Miller Even 2 months is WAY too long to be on a truck with a trainer. Thats a damn relationship! Only way to drive 50k miles in 2-3 months is in a team driving situation. No individual driving for Prime or any company for that matter is averaging 6000 miles a week by themselves to reach 50k miles in 2 months.

@@truckertothenight9289 it’s not individual miles it’s 50k miles as a team lol. The truck must accrue 50k miles during training, not an individual. 2 months might be too long but since I been out here I see why it is. This isn’t a job you perfect in just a few weeks.

Get out

@@stevo6891 it wasn't rare at that time, we used to ask each other how many miles we got so far today. After midnight, I drove 1,100 miles today and just made it here to cross the welcome center while their closed. Drove 20 hours today. Was not rare back then I'm taking this , scaled 85,000lbs, no overweight permit but my paycheck is gonna be good.

I'm looking at Prime and Wilson logistics

On my channel, just look through my videos

Maybe MVT

Did you get it

@@chrisdementtruckingYes today is my first day actually orientation day🙂

@@memorodz7923 good luck

Yes you can

Western express

Dang

You in California ?

@@Koolmoedeesimpson I live in Washington but work in Oregón

They take drivers with no experience?

@@chrisdementtrucking yes they have a school that you can go to in Hickory Flatt MS

$1,000 orientation pay paid on your first load. Orientation is 3 days with 2 days classroom and the last day you do road test and truck assignment. $5,000 sign on bonus. Pay starts at $0.46 and tops out at $0.50. They are a very family oriented and faith based company

​@@jamesford2527Do they pay you to train you to obtain your CDL?

With load’s that near home in the truck

@@chrisdementtrucking Thanks. Safe travels

Then choose other companies thats hiring out your area, knight , swift, steven transport

@@chrisdementtrucking I applied for knight , Millis transfer , and cypress. Who would you say out of swift and knight ? And Millis

@@KieranG6 I personally work for knight, but I would ask about pay, home time from each company and choose what works for you and go with your speed. Of course im going say knight because im bias but convo is definitely need it

@@chrisdementtrucking yeah I watched your videos . The thing is cypress only does majority of flat bed and they don’t really pay good doing training but after they start at 0.52 a mile . And they only do the southeast region but they have a terminal close to where I live . Knight don’t pay doing training for cdl and I have called for like 3 days and gotten no response so far . The other companies that pay for school got bad reviews Wilson logistics which pay terrible and Pam and crst 💀😳. I’m looking into swift now since they are bigger and go more places and have more opportunities. I figure if I’m going to be fucked why not go with the bigger company also swift academy is only 2000 if you don’t stay the contract oppose to the others over 6000

@@KieranG6 so you don’t have your cdl just your permit?

I make 1000-1600

@@chrisdementtrucking can I ask what's your lowest you ever make and whats your highest since you've been solo?

@@NZNTRUCKING i think $900 and $1600

@@chrisdementtrucking ok thank you thank you please keep the videos coming

@@chrisdementtruckingwho you with again?

Yes

Dang that’s goof

Immediately

Rocky +1 (615) 669-1650

I pretty sure Africa has truck drivers it’s just you gotta do your research

You need some kind of authorization to work like green card, work permit, etc…Go through commercial driving school for 3 weeks to 6 weeks depending on the school. And then find a company that will hire you for further road training about 1 month yo 2 months. The process is a bit intense but not too hard and it takes about 3 months before you become a professional truck driver. But you need 1 to 2 years of driving to gain experience as a truck driver.

Knight there

Lol 😂 where do you think all my money goes to , stocks and real state. I have 3 streams of income. Once i have enough passive income i will walk away

@@chrisdementtrucking can you make a video on what you invest in?

@@FreewayNijee yes ma’am that’s coming up next

​@chrisdementtrucking tell him bro I did invest I invested in my cdl 😂

Find a company with terminal Near you

That’s Key

Rohel is near you

Because they don’t take rookies

@@chrisdementtruckingThey do but they are mainly a Team driving company and that’s a turn off for a lot of people.

Definitely you mgs on ig its my name
