    Other possible options:
    • Schneider National has a terminal in Charlotte, & a drop yard elsewhere in NC. Schneider offers several different freight type options, all under one name. Most other starter carriers are "one-trick ponies"....with really just one freight type. If you try & don't like a one-trick pony...you have to jump ship to another. But not with Schneider.
    • As you advance through the CDL school there -- different "starter" carriers will visit your class, & give a dog-n-pony show. Depending on who these carriers are -- some may well be worth a 2nd look. These carriers will be ACTIVELY HIRING -- or they really wouldn't be there talking to your class. Capish?
    • After talking to a co-worker at length about his beginner experiences at C R England -- I can't recommend them in good conscience; any of the above mentioned options would be a MUCH BETTER choice. :confused:
    • See/read the below recent Forum threads for why you should positively avoid Western Express :eek: :eek: :rolleyes: :
    How do I play this game?

    God bless America

    How refreshing.
    99.8% of similar requests "forget" to mention they are convicted serial killers or have 9 fatal wrecks. LOL

    heh, no the only thing working against me is the spotty employment history. i got a rich exciting life story for why that is but nobody gives a #### about that

    Forget the spotty employment history, that was over 3-5 years ago.
    The so-called exciting life story is wonderful for personal memories, but can be a detriment in the current job environment. Keep that to yourself for the time being.
