    Yes, need schooling. I'm 59, switching careers and looking for a company that hires out of Kentucky with no driver facing cameras and trucks that will at least do the speed limit in all 50 states. For those reasons, R.E. West or Swift are my top two choices at the moment but seeking additional options. Not really looking for flatbed. Would probably need to go with a school that provides training as well. Thanks in advance for any input you may wish to relay!

    Thanks for the input. I'm hoping to narrow my list as much as possible before I start approaching the possibilities.

    You'll have to make phone calls about the driver facing cameras; that changes often.
    I'd look at Wilson Logistics. This company hires in 48 states.
    This website has information on the school and types of trucks you'll drive.

    Wilson Logistics is a family-owned trucking company that knows our drivers as well as we know our customers. Wilson Logistics A family-owned trucking company that knows our drivers as well as we know our customers.

    FFE (Frozen Food Express) is a good outfit. It's owned by KLLM Transport and probably will train in Burns Harbor, Indiana. The Burns Harbor school may not show on the website, but it's there.

    Thanks again for all the suggestions! Would you recommend applying to multiple companies at the same time or one at a time in order of preference until I get an invite?

    If you're in no hurry, apply in order of preference.
    You can apply to all at once if you want though.

    Cool, that was my inclination. I'm also a Desert Storm veteran if there are companies you'd recommend among the ones you've listed (or perhaps others) who have a particular affinity for hiring vets. Thanks again for all your advice!
