    You're going for the training, remember? Suck it up and learn.

    ATS good company. You work your way up to windmill blades and you'll be just fine.

    Friend of mine lasted 2 weeks says it was horrible. Nothing they said or promised was true. I believe he was the last one in his orientation group to quit. Which was shocking because I heard good things. Also have another buddy whose been there for 6 months says last 2 months things have been getting shaky.

    If the previous suggestions somehow don't give you the warm fuzzies....you might check this one out....lately, they have been looking for drivers in GA:

    Jordan Carriers -- heavy-haul (wind division)

    They have reviews on Indeed that are well above average.

    I'd take a look at Montgomery Transport too......unless you want to haul specialized oversized.

    Jordan is a much smaller carrier than ATS--so expect it to feel as such.

    With Jordan--you can start out in flatbed (apparently, they take beginners)...and later do heavy-haul with them, after you get some real experience.

    If you don't like Volvo tractors....Jordan is probably not what you want.

    The vast majority of their freight is probably east of I-35 and/or I-29.

    I have not driven for them, or talked to any of their drivers.

    But their reviews on Indeed caught my attention; seemed much better than the norm.

    Call tmc and see if you can get on the local home depot account in Atlanta
    Good way to learn flatbed when they throw random stuff on your trailer everyday
