Schneider or may?

I just got my cdl 4 days ago and havent decided for which company to work for. I see that may starts u off at .30 and schneider starts u off between .29 to .34. The instructors at my school told me start with may because its one of the better companies to work for. But I live in chicago and I see their closest terminal is in Denver. So im wondering how thats going to affect my hometime. Schneider I see has one in chicago so thats a plus for me. Im married so 1 day off in a week is what im looking for I really dont care if I run 11 or 48 states as long as I get miles and keep running. Anyone out there that can help me decide?

 

####, i really do wanna work for may, but hometime is pretty important to me. im gonna contact a recruiter tomorrow and check to see if i even qualify with them, cause i know they want you to have a steady 2 yr work history, and mine aint that steady. if not off to schneider it is...thanks for da info.

 

While home time is a priority, I guess i was hoping to work with May trucking and get a day off for a week of otr, i know thats never going to be a sure thing. but when i decided to get my cdl i wanted to get some otr my first yr and get that experience under my belt, and who knows if i like it i might even get my own truck some day. ive heard in other post that regional might mean more hometime but means low miles a day which equal to a small paycheck. and if im going to be on the road i might as well get as much miles as possible. Im also going to contact schneider and get info from them. its only been 4 days since i got my license but im doing my research now before i commit to a company. ppl have told me they can get me local jobs but seems like it all talk and no play but we'll just have to see.

 

Decided for May, Orientation is on the 30th at Gary Indiana, hopefully i pass their evaluation on the first time.
