    Hi all,
    I've been out of the game for about 2 years. I have been doing a lot of research and it seems like Schneider or USX are the best options in my region to get my foot back in the door. I tried a shady company for 1 week and it wasn't for me. I have also applied to Swift. Unsure about Swift though. I live in the Los Angeles area. Any help would be appreciated.

    I was also looking into USX but im a noob looking for a company to get on with to get my cdl and a year otr exp. Is it true that they force you to team after you finish training?

    I looked in to schneider too but I've heard too many bad things about them so I'm staying away from those orange trucks lol

    I have no clue. I think I'll be solo. I have 7 years total experience just none in the last 2 years.

    If your going solo then go with Schneider. USX is a team company that utilizes solo's only to pick up and deliver team freight.

    I'm going back to CRST. I called em today and my dispatcher gave me a really good write up when I quit last time. Gonna put me with a co-driver for 2 weeks and then back on dedicated. It's teams but whatever. I really liked their dedicated runs. I like how they let you log too.

    How do they let you log, two times the work for the same pay? All the illegal logs in the world will not pay if your ever caught after your in a bad wreck and in prison.

    Does anybody have any experience with a USX Dedicated Dollar General Account? It appears Schneider doesn't have any Solo stuff where i live at this time.
