I pnal on getting a CDL from FCCJ once I transfer onto our night shift at my company.
I just want some opinions on some companies such as CR England, US Xpress, Covenant, Werner, etc. I live in North East Florida and I currently work as a commercial fueler at a international airport. I have no CDL, but I drive a 10,000gal truck around the airfield. As of right now I have no preference on what I want to do as of yet.

I dont think anybody will give a you a very nice opinion on any of the companies you listed. I think you will have to decide more of what you want for us to help you. And what is FCCJ? The job market is full of experienced drivers who arent working so it might br tough for you to find a gig.

Sorry FCCJ is a local college here in Jax. I also know things are tough all around. I want to go local, but the company I want to work for told me to go OTR for at least a year before I should apply for them. I dont care for who I work for, I just want the experience.

I plan on getting a CDL from FCCJ once I transfer into our night shift at my company. Good school choice. How long is the "night shift", not a good idea to be sleepy or sleeping in a driving course. Check the course hours, most are ten hours per day. Gets you accustomed to your trucking work day.
I just want some opinions on some companies such as CR England, US Xpress, Covenant, Werner, etc. Two out of four aren't bad, but you can do better. Better doesn't include pulling cans out of the port or log trucks. I live in North East Florida and I currently work as a commercial fueler at a international airport. Keep the fueler job until the economy picks up unless you want to pull reefer loads. BOL |
