    Check with System Transport and Interstate Distributor.

    Check website trans-system also.

    Apergis Transportation and Watkins & Shepard are good ones.

    Some of these companies may have tuition reimbursement program, but that's not as important as getting on with a good company.

    Buel Inc. runs teams back and forth from the Southeast to the Northwest.

    Welly welly well guys i think i'm going to go with Knight Refrigerated. I really do like their volvos... yes, i know it will be hard. yes, i know i will probably get raped on pay and home time. henderson's 3 month of 'training' teams just seems like hell for me. anybody is welcome to post their experiences with knight refrigerated; i'm interested in their training process with squire

    considering the fact that i've struggled to get a part-time minimum wage job for months on end, im pretty sure i'll lay down and get beaten with a switch 8 hours a day for a paycheck. don't let the company i'm going to work for know that haha..

    henderson seems like an excellent company but i cant team for 3 months with another driver. you see, i like to smell like #### due to constant depression and poor hygiene and whack it in my spare time and i don't think my co-driver / mentor would be cool with that :biggrin_25526::biggrin_25514::biggrin_25515::biggrin_25522:

    If you're depressed trucking might might not be a good choice for you. It could make it even worse.
