    Not yet, I planning on getting my tanker and hazmat endorsements as soon as my physical cdl license comes in the mail. Is swift, prime inc or CFI good to start with?

    Can do better than those 3 companies. They're ok, but you can do better.

    J Rayl Transport hires new drivers (I was one). They’re in Akron and have a yard in Columbus that’s be closer to home for you. I’ve been with them for 3 1/2 years, and I’m pretty happy.

    Are you able to take the truck home with you or do you have to drop it off at the yard for your home time?

    Do you have safe parking at home? If so, you can take the truck home. Don't know if that's the policy at JRayL, but most companies allow that.
    I used to squeeze mine into my driveway by the house.
