    All the line haul companies are growing and need drivers. YRC opened their own school because of rapid growth. You can transfer between terminals also. For example, you're at a terminal in New Jersey and want to move to Texas, then you can transfer there and not have to change companies.

    You have to re-apply to a new terminal at YRC you can't just transfer because of the different union locals. Might be possible at non-union ltls. I know a lot of them have dock to driver programs now.

    I need help deciding too. I haven't drove in 13 years, a farmer locally here wants to hire me on, guaranteed home weekends, 2020 pete 379, 18 speed, pays percentage, can run hard due to ag exemptions... but I want to get into tanking. OFC Schmidt wants to hire me too, I'd like to do tanker but dang, I worry my fat ### will fall off of the top of the tank plus they haul sulfuric acid and other hazmat, the recruiter says he has big dudes that do it 400-500lbs. Plus OFC Schmidt has driver facing cams...like why? I don't do drugs or F with lot lizards... I just can't decide, ugh!

    My buddy weighs 300 lbs. and does tanks with no problems.
    Use the 3 point of contact method and you'll be ok.

    You can also use Escapees RV Club and get an address in Bushnell, Florida.
    Lots of truckers use this method. Take a few days off and drive to Florida and take care of it. @VinceBlack is the newest driver I know of that's done this.
