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.

@@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'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.

Just got my cdl with Wilson and started a UA-cam channel. I started watching yours before I decided to get that license. I appreciate all the info you’ve given everyone.
Thank you very much man! I’m in the application process for Wilson Logistics right now. Seems like a pretty sweet offer to me. The contract being the only downside but a year is nothing and experience is everything so I’m doing it!
I did a frito lay apprenticeship program. They pay and send you to a cdl school and while your at cdl school and until your finished with training you get a guaranteed $1300 a week as long as you don't miss any days. Some of its hard work when you have to unload your truck but it's worth it. We just got a bump to 62 cents per mile and get case pay for cases we unload. I average $1500 - $1800 a week. After you get some seniority you get better runs. Home nightly and if you end up picking a run thats an overnight they give you a clc card and you can stay in a hotel. No need to sleep in the truck which is a bonus. Guys who have been here for 5 years are pulling 6 figures easy. I'm on track to make 85k this year alone which is pretty good fresh out of cdl school. But you gotta be willing to put in that work 💪
I did a year and half local at coke then moved to regional hauling potatoes, never hauled a 53ft, never drove a sleeper. I’m almost a year with them and I’m in a glider 389 13spd, and I’ve averaged about .85 a mile since I started. Home about 5-6 nights a week with two days off on weekends. Honestly the best paying jobs that have the best benefits are small local companies imo.
@@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.
@@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.
If you are able to cover your own tuition (pay cash or take out a loan) and are in the Midwest I would highly recommend NTB or ALTL as well. Both are great companies and offer tuition reimbursement as well as great training pay.
I really want to go to Prime Inc after getting my permit! I want ALL THE TRAINING I CAN GET!! I can tough out the rooming with a stranger in a small space for a long period of time if it benefits my experience in the long run! I want all the practice and experience in my training phase as I can get. A lot of these companies may pay more or whatever, but they usually only do 2-3 weeks with a trainer and then they let you go and I wouldn't feel confident nor ready to be on my own in that short amount of time. So, I am praying that Prime Inc takes me after getting my permit
Cool content! I completed my bachelor's degree while living in my car, I spent the better part of 5 years traveling around Latin America, and I became fluent in Spanish at 25 years of age. I am currently enrolled in an alternative teaching program to teach Spanish, but as I will be waiting a year to get into the classroom, I've decided to get my CDL. A company will be paying for my training and I will be creating videos during the process and sharing as much as I can for everyone else out there interested in driving! I begin on the 31st, so feel free to connect with me regarding anything! Take care.
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.
If you’re going in chasing the money, your in for a surprise. Especially when fresh out of school. It’s like every other jobs, you have to learn to earn. I myself is going through knight swift mainly for the CDL and EXPERIENCE.. Driving new equipments and not paid well is better then paid well and braking down driving a beat up truck putting yourself at risk.. NEW TRUCK.. Wake up GEN Z
I’m in my second week at Wilson logistics fresh and new to the industry came with just my permit. They flew me from FL to Missouri and now I’m in Dallas for my 2 weeks of training before going OTR with someone
Halvor lines is 1000$ a week training pay for 8 weeks and your paid to drive or fly to training and they pay your hotel only a one year contract and 8000 miles a month to keep your full time benafits so that means more hometime
Worked for Prime and Wilson. Recommend Prime over Wilson but both companies are cool. Wilson doesn’t have the same driver comforts that Prime does ( wright weight, navigation, app, macros, etc… not to mention terminals) and you won’t make quite as much with them. Other than that they both were good companies to drive for as with most companies your driver/fleet mgr makes the difference. Was lease with both but also did company with prime. Details on my channel.
Combined transport is 1400 a week. From the first day of hire it is 200 a day you do a week of orientation a week of backing class then 4 to 6 weeks on the road. Your week of orientation and backing class is 5 days and you are off on weekends but still get the 200 a day on your days off they put you in a hotel by yourself then when you are done training you start at 58 cents a mile or if you have a passport you get 2 more cents a mile and a 20 cent a mile bonus for every mile after 10,000 miles for the month
Im supposed to start Wilson the 26th but appreciate you for putting this info out my boy keep doing ya thing & about the $900 ion think you get paid that till once you acquire your CDL, they do have an option to get a $200 advance while in orientation but i think you have to pay that back & side note i believe that $900 is before tax 😅
I got my CDL in. 2017 from roadmaster drivers school in Tampa and in 2018-2019 drove for Schneider then 2021-23 in March drove for a company out of defiance ohio and that was back in March when they let me go cause of incidents that was very minor but now companies won’t hire me and my wife and I both miss the trucking
I am about 2-4 weeks away from getting my permit for Class A, been wanting to do this for years now. I am currently 23 and my current retail job aint worth the $11/h for 16h work weeks smh.
@@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.
Do you know what the schools do for their dot physicals? If I have a dot physical already I read prime does another one day 1 of the school. I was told I am pre diabetic, no blood sample. Do the Schools do a blood sample or just urine for the physical? If you are diabetic do they send you home? how does this work?
Wilson Logistics is hiring me bro and you are correct about everything you said! I have my permit already and my DOT physical done. Submitted my application that the trainer told me to submit so now it’s just background check.
@@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.
I work for DOT Transportation they start you off with .56 cents training pay is 850 a week also they deal with reefers and dry (mostly reefer) they have touch freight and no touch you max out at .65 cents a mile you’re in training until they believer you’re ready to be released weekends off
Been fresh out of school on the road for about 3 months im with melton , maverick does not accept felons , the way u explained tarp was a lil off u secure every load if u have to tarp it "cover the load" u get paid 100
my ideas for companies that are veteran friendly? I'm getting my CDL rn. Swift came by our school and said they offer extra cents per mile for being a veteran. Any info would be appreciated 👍
Cr England requires 3 months of experience or at least that’s what the recruiter told me. And with prime u have 3 months after u graduate to apply with them.
How much is training pay for knight transportation? Since my son is on his own and in the Marines now I've been considering driving truck. I'm doing Uber now and getting my own gas and maintenance is very expensive.
I talked to a Knight recruiter the other day. I have my CDL already but no experience. He said new drivers that already have CDL but no experience have to stay on at least 4 months or they have to pay $2,000.00 for the four week training period.
Hey I'm from NY and was a weed smoker but I quit once I got my CDL recently. So its been around 30 days and I can definitely PASS a urine test but I hear its 90-120 days to pass a hair follicle. Besides Western Express do you know any Starter Companies that give Urine Drug Test ONLY because I've been doing my research and it seems a lot of starter companies do Hair and Urine test and I probably won't be able to pass a hair test for another 3 months. Do I have any other options?
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
Knight pays $300 a week while getting your cdl. Don't know how much a week while with a trainer. No contract for cdl training but you have to pay for the school. Your payments start once you go solo. If you leave before you pay it off, you are still responsible for the cdl school costs.
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
@@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.
Matthew 6:19-21 NKJV 🔴 "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; [20] but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. [21] For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Plus. Right now as I speak prime Inc. is the highest paying truck company. Plus lots of variation. In prime Inc. is the best company. In trucking. For new drivers. Your biggest problem with prime is dispatchers .
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.
$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
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.
@@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

Been fresh out of school on the road for about 3 months im with melton , maverick does not accept felons , the way u explained tarp was a lil off u secure every load if u have to tarp it "cover the load" u get paid 100
my ideas for companies that are veteran friendly? I'm getting my CDL rn. Swift came by our school and said they offer extra cents per mile for being a veteran. Any info would be appreciated 👍
Swift, knight, Hirschbach, crete, they love their veterans
I believe not sure but I saw knight doesn’t pay while getting cdl only once you start the training on the truck. I could be wrong though
They dont and they don't help you with a ticket home if you fail
Cr England requires 3 months of experience or at least that’s what the recruiter told me. And with prime u have 3 months after u graduate to apply with them.
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.
Tips on the pre trip test?
Yes best thing i could say is repeat everything even away from the truck. Just constantly say it, it will become second nature
I talked to Wilson logistics bruh everything sounds good man I'm thinking on it do they pull for prime I see there trailers Hook behind!
Yeap yeap just make sure you don’t go no where else or they want take you
@@chrisdementtrucking okay
What about work history? Do they just need my boss' phone? I worked both w2 and 1099 last 3 years.
do you have to pay for a hotel when you're in training or do they provide housing?
They pay
I’ll be going to Wilson logistics in 2 months
Congrats good luck
How much is training pay for knight transportation? Since my son is on his own and in the Marines now I've been considering driving truck. I'm doing Uber now and getting my own gas and maintenance is very expensive.
I made $800 a week in training
I talked to a Knight recruiter the other day. I have my CDL already but no experience. He said new drivers that already have CDL but no experience have to stay on at least 4 months or they have to pay $2,000.00 for the four week training period.
Never heard of that never happen to me
Any good companies for new drivers in El Paso tx ?
I called Prime last week, and the training is $1000.00 a week. I was going to go but they didn't have enough trainers.
Good to know they went up
Hey I'm from NY and was a weed smoker but I quit once I got my CDL recently. So its been around 30 days and I can definitely PASS a urine test but I hear its 90-120 days to pass a hair follicle. Besides Western Express do you know any Starter Companies that give Urine Drug Test ONLY because I've been doing my research and it seems a lot of starter companies do Hair and Urine test and I probably won't be able to pass a hair test for another 3 months. Do I have any other options?
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
How much do you make per mile?
will a company take me if i got a felony for weed possession 10 years ago?
Knight pays $300 a week while getting your cdl. Don't know how much a week while with a trainer. No contract for cdl training but you have to pay for the school. Your payments start once you go solo. If you leave before you pay it off, you are still responsible for the cdl school costs.
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
Any words on CH Robinson??
What do you think about Roehl transport are they good?
Never heard anything bad about them
I started with Swift at $ 3,000.00 a week before E-logs.
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.
knight is only 700$ training pay now and its 45 cents for dry side and 48 for reefer side
They’ve lowered it again…now it’s $650 a week training pay

Do they hire recent cdl graduates
Majority arent in cali brother manteca area I got my clp but seems no companies for cdl training are here
Knight there
Plus. Right now as I speak prime Inc. is the highest paying truck company. Plus lots of variation. In prime Inc. is the best company. In trucking. For new drivers. Your biggest problem with prime is dispatchers .
I'm looking at Prime and Wilson logistics
So at Knight you don’t have to sign on for a year?
I had my cdl prior
CAN U START TELLING US URINE OR HAIR BRO THANKS🤞🏾💯
Do knight transportation have cameras inside ?
Only forward facing cameras
Still prime Inc is the best by far for a new drivers. Because you can lease u will have 3 different tipe of driving to choose from
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.
where is part one at bro
On my channel, just look through my videos
Chris what of these companies located in NYC?
Most of are
So when your only getting 45-60cpm are you responsible for gas?
Never
Big M Transportation in Blue Mountain MS is the absolute best
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 $0.50. They are a very family oriented and faith based company
@@jamesford2527Do they pay you to train you to obtain your CDL?
Hi how does OTR companies send their drivers home?
With load’s that near home in the truck
@@chrisdementtrucking Thanks. Safe travels
Can you ask if you want to be with a team.
Yes you can
I get taxed a lot for training is 700$ but net pay I get 500$ 😢
Dang
You in California ?
@@Koolmoedeesimpson I live in Washington but work in Oregón
Bro could pay you for a consultation
How long have you been with this company?
Knight? 4 months
bro can someone get this opportunity if they are outside USA like Africa
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.
any recommendations for trucking companies in south florida
Find a company with terminal
Near you
I called maverick, hircshbach, and Roehl. They are not hiring out of Florida
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?
