Cool Any company that offers schooling and then regional or dedicated runs?

I am just asking as I have spoken to many companies that offer schooling and then OTR, but I would prefer a regional or dedicated run after I am through with schooling and training. OTR is fine with me till I get my feet planted, and I know in a new career you have to start somewhere, but I figured I'd just ask and see if there were. Thank you all! The information that I have read so far on the board has been great.

I know Schneider and Watkins/Shepard both offer Schooling and Regional positons, you might want to look into those two.

From what I've been told by their recruiter's, they are training just for OTR.
I have looked at Schneider, W/S, Swift, Maverick, CFI, and Driver Solutions (which does schooling for Decker and USA Truck, in my area).

I like Schneider, W/S, and Maverick the best so far.

It might be different for your area. I was accepted at Scneider for a Regional Western States job, but then decided to go the W/S where I am going to the same thing Western 10 states. Good luck at what ever you do.

Thanks WingRider. That's pretty much what I had wanted, but I guess my area is different. I'll keep on looking though. And good luck to you as well.
