Good morning; I retired in 06 after 26 years in a factory and now I am going back to truck driving. I live in Washington state. I have done a ton of research on companies to work for and would like your input on companies that I will run into in the northwest. I have talked to 3 Swift drivers with a range of 3 to 13 years of driving for Swift and they like it. Unfortunatly Interstate has suspended their driver training program for new school graduates. Werner has a terminal in Portland, I think. Any ideas? I will get out of school at the end of april. I went to the trucking companies and asked what school they like to hire from and am going to Commercial Driver Services in Tacoma, WA. They train on van, flatbed, doubles and triples. I will have every endorsement possible except passenger. My only requirement from a company is that they have a rider program, so my wife can come along when she wants. Hope none of you drivers got stuck in all the flooding in the midwest... Have a good day.
