    I live about 30 minutes from their terminal in Lenoir City, TN. From what I can read it seems they are a good company.

    agree after training u may have great possibility of running local. when I return from injury that is who I plan to sign with. I was told since 40 is a main lane it would be easier getting home. AS LIKE U WHERE U LIVE. they have APU's that's the main reason I picked them. and the pay package is good. the trks are ok mostly freightliner's 9spd

    Check to see if the school you attend is acceptable for them? If so, this is where you should go.

    Yeah, they accept the school I am attending. Sounds good, I will give them a call tomorrow.

    I've done tons of reading on here about several different companies, and yes, there's good and bad said about all companies....but I've not read hardly any bad about this company.

    Cretes good. I've met a lot of guys from Crete out there. be sure to check out Roehl too. Its a good company. One of my friends from school is from the Nashville area and still drives for Roehl. Seems like I get through the nashville/knoxville area at least once a month while running national van.

    Just watch out you might get one of their trailers with the big arrow pointing at you and talking about their most valuable resource or something like that. I always have to chuckle when I see one of those trailers going down the road. I would hate to have that big arrow pointing at my back side.:biggrin_25520:
