    I'd go with May. Can live in the truck and run 48 states.

    I thought they already went out… I hauled some of their loads with landstar outbid Greenville TN, their HQ


    guess they’ll be ok. Covenant Transport buys Landair in $83 million deal

    Danny Herman probably dropped you because they're dry van and dry van freight is really slow right now.

    Drivers - Stevens Transport
    This one is the same, can stay in the truck and run 48 states.
    My understanding is they do urine test. Maybe sneak in a hair follicle if someone in orientation is acting weird.

    My school partners with Stevens among others, and school recruiter told me to avoid Stevens because of hair follicle tests.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    I’d give central Oregon a try if they’ll take a student driver. They have cameras but equipment and money are solid.
     
    tscottme and Mad_Pickle Thank this.

    I don't know anything about Landair. Your school doesn't decide where you work, you do. Unless you have some wacky contract you should not let another person decide where you work. If you allow yourself to remain passive while other decide your fate, please don't come back and complain you don't like the results. Get involved or stay quite about the outcome.

    If you live in E-Tenn and want to work Big G is probably hiring and will keep you busy. I don't know which drug test they give, that's your problem to deal with. Work at McDs until you can sort things out. Having 2 jobs in 3 months is not going to boost your "hireability".
     
    hope not dumb twucker Thanks this.

    I heard nothing but good things about COTC Central Oregon Truck Company when I was out West. Flatbed and conestoga, IIRC.

    I agree that I choose my future which is why I’m researching my options. I may very well be doing rideshare for a few weeks until I find the right job for me.
