Just wandering what company to try and apply for and for who actually pays no experience drivers like they say they will.

I haven't messed with CDL stuff in a while, but I doubt anyone will pay you good with no experience.

Depends on what you want to do. Im currently an owner/op /lease purchase driver for KLLM. $.90mile plus fuel surcharge. 2014+ Freightliner and Volvos. No down payment, no credit check, 100% walk away lease. My truck payment is $473/week (2014 Freightliner Cascadia, had 152k miles on the clock when I got her), newer trucks are obviously more. Will have it paid off in less than 4 years. When the lease is up, I give the owner $1.00 and he hands me the title. Im free to go home whenever I want for however long I want, I can turn down/refuse any load with no penalty. Company drivers start at $.34/mile, can't refuse loads, can only take home time after being out for so long, etc etc. The terminal and training academy is in Lancaster right off 35E on Danieldale rd.

Damn, dude that ain't bad. 90 cents a mile and they pay for your fuel?

I have been in this business for 11 years. My back is destroyed my hearing is not much better and its really not that great of a job. Why do you want to drive a damn truck? Whatever you do get a TANKER job do not fuck your back up unloading shit. I would do electrical or a/c work before getting into driving its a ton of hours and the pay isn't that great. No overtime etc. If you decide to do it remember do what you can do and get your rest. No freight in the world is worth your life or anyone elses. "It will make you old before your time" some old guy told me that when I started he was right

No, you have to pay for fuel, but it is discounted $.30-.40/gal. Plus the additional fuel surcharge pay.

Sounds like you run flatbed. Fuck that lol.

Oh, and I've been driving for this company solo since July 1 '15, and have yet to have to unload anything myself. They say it's "97% no touch freight"...It's really closer to 99%.
