Answer:

It never hurts to talk to drivers of the company in which you're interested but DO NOT limit yourself to experienced drivers; those are the people who are LEAST able to give a newbie driver a clear picture of what he's liable to experience with any given company.
A driver who's been around the block a few times has developed an outlook on the industry that new driver's simply don't have. For example, it's pretty well standard procedure in the reefer business to have to sit all day waiting for a produce load and then have to run it all night to meet your unloading appointment. An experienced driver will have "adjusted" his logbook to ensure that he has the hours necessary to meet his appointment and, most likely, will have developed an ability to sleep during the day even though he's just awakened from 8 hours sleep a couple of hours ago. Newbie drivers don't have that ability and will get beat half to death trying to 'get 'er done' as dispatch will want.
So do yourself a favor and talk to new drivers as well as experienced drivers of any given company. You should be interested in what YOU can expect, not what some old hand sees as 'normal'.
BTW, trucking forums are a great source of knowledge about the industry and will help you through the learning curve. We don't all have the same opinion on the industry or the best way to go about damm near anything but most of us who have been doing this - trucking - for awhile will probably agree that you shouldn't put a lot of credence in 'advice' from people who are futuretruckers without understanding that such advice is based on opinion rather than experience.

Answer:
i'd rather have someone give me their experience with the company, not someone that has a opinion about a company that they have never drove for, yea i'm a newbie to trucking and i do debate with some issues that i have asked about here but that is just me trying to weed out the truth and the bull$^&* that you read on here, most here will tell you what they have heard and that is okay as long as you leave it as that, if trucking was that bad you all wouldnt be doing it period, its more of a flooded market with lots of drivers that run down the cost of freight and some o/o dont like it as it makes it hard for them to compete with the bigger companies, but off that topic.

Answer:

It is easy to get in, but hard to get out.

It is often the small O/O that has a lower overhead, that depresses the rates. The public companies, in particular, have to report to shareholders. Their stock takes a hit, if they don't produce expected profits.Government Ain't YO' Friend. Nor your Servant.

Answer:

Knock yourself out but the simple truth is that since you have NO EXPERIENCE in the industry, it’s virtually impossible for you to weed out anything. Based on your posts here, you’ve ‘cherry picked’ the so-called ‘information’ that you’re basing your decision upon and have now started handing out UNINFORMED advice yourself.

“Most here” have a number of years of experience in the industry and are far better equipped “to weed out the truth and the bull$^&*” from what we have heard than wannabe drivers are. For absolutely no money down and zero dollars per month, “most here” will give you an honest opinion about various trucking companies and driving career strategies. If you’ve got stars in your eyes and have always dreamed about becoming a driver, you may not like what you read here but you can count on it being an honest opinion.
Please note that I am referring to what is posted in the forums ONLY. I would be very wary of any ‘information’ conveyed by means of PM or e-mail. There are a number of recruiters who lurk on this board.

Most of us started in the industry a good number of years ago and most of us DON’T do it anymore. Most of us who are still driving are looking for ways out of the industry. Most of us are trying to help wannabes see the industry as it is so that they can make an INFORMED decision.

Answer:
it is not impossible to weed out bull&^%$, i'm old enough to understand what you can and can not believe, what so called information are you talking about? all my information has came from drivers that work for the company now, how is that so called,

Answer:

Age has nothing to do with it. You have NO EXPERIENCE in the industry and therefore are unable to tell the difference between what is true, what is possible and what is BS. One requires knowledge to differentiate between lies and the truth.

What you have, and what you are passing on to other wannabes is HEARSAY, not information. Information can be independently verified; the HEARSAY that you are passing on is merely the opinions of drivers who are satisfied with England.
England has a driver turnover rate of well over the industry standard of approximately 120% and that means that there are far more drivers who were dissatisfied with England than there are who think that it’s the place to be.
Why am I beginning to get the impression that you’re a recruiter for England, rather than a truck driver wannabe?
