If you’ve been trucking for awhile, you know there’s 4 classes of trucking companies: Class 1 is the training companies like Swift and CR, without dedicated lanes. Not the best pay, but a lot of support. Class 0 is worse: the fraudulent companies that screw you out of money. Class 2 are the companies that take some experience, that offer more, like Crete carrier, drivers here still try to hire other drivers. Class 3 are the best of the best, companies where the drivers will not tell you about them, because they value them that much.
My health just compelled me to leave a class 3 company, Quality logistics out of Denver. This superb company offers .70 cpm, stop pay and high miles while coddling their drivers with only daytime dry van driving. The team there is diverse and non judgmental, very cool people. Everyone is welcome. However it runs lean, like most Class 3 trucking companies: You need to have some experience with things like replacing a headlight, as management is not there to help train you, like Swift. You need to know what you are doing. But if you have a few years under your belt and live in the zone where they hire, definitely check them out. This is an excellent company you will want to keep to your self unless you leave for other reasons like me.
