    Well, after much thought and back and forth I think I'm ready to pull the trigger and sign on with SNI. I have a phone interview set up for next week and then hopefully will be headed to school in Portland. Been reading a bunch on this board and have been able to get a lot of good information, thanks to everyone here for that. If there are any hints or tips anyone else can share I'm all ears right now.

    This is a return to trucking for me. It's been 20 years plus since I've been behind the wheel. Back in the day I drove a little bit of everything. I gotstarted in heavy duty towing, and also ran low boys, roll offs, fuel tankers, end dumps, and some otr van. Looking forward to getting back out there.
     
    Puppage and blairandgretchen Thank this.

    i'm not trying to steer you away from PumpkinWorld, but as i tell every person getting into trucking. Don't just put just one iron in the fire. i hope you looked into several companies.

    You'll be good. Things have changed, mind.

    Good luck - as Puppage said, keep updating.

    Good choice. There are good miles for western regional. I think you will be happy with Schneider.
