    I would apply for all. You can never have to many options.

    I'd go for the best one in YOUR opinion, and wait to get hired. If ya have a good background, work history and drivin record there's no reason to settle..

    I'd apply at all of them cause some won't call you back. UPSF, ABF, ODFL are the ones that might not call you back. Estes and Saia are maybes, the others are likely the easier ones that I pretty much guarantee they'll call you. Also it depends on which job you plan on doing City or Linehaul? Some might only want you in City, some might want you Linehaul. Get all your offers together and find what fits you. They'll understand if you need time to think.
