What would you guys do if you were me? (choosing company to work for)

Ok so back in December (around the 11th) I received a phone call from Old Dominion here in Chesapeake VA to come in and speak with the manager. At the time I hadn't even graduated CDL school yet and didn't have my endorsements, so the manager told me to call him next month.

So I called the manager this month and he said that it's a very slow time in the year, and to call back in February. But during the Christmas holiday I was in Indy visiting family and noticed that they were hiring drivers, so I called the Indy terminal, gave them some info and they want me to come in and fill out an app. I'm thinking of packing up and staying with a family member in Ft. Wayne (about 2 hrs from Indy) and fill out an app and wait.

So my question is what should I do? I have limited amount of money due to me being out of work since October (left to go to CDL school)

Should I take the gamble and use some of my limited resources to take a gamble at landing a job in Indy with OD? or Should I look into the 3 companies that would interview and hire me quickly?? ( TransAm, Averitt, McElroy. I've spoken and filled out apps with all of these companies at my school's graduation.)

OD is pretty much the one company I want to work for.

 

Go with OD and be happy.

The others will always be there if things don't work out.

 

Why wait,od has a website I'd be filling out an app now..then call the person you spoke with so they know u did fill out an app from their website.ask him how long it normally takes.

 

I agree with this fellow.

 

OD much better income

 

If I were you, I would go to the other companies (except McElroy) first. The reason being so that you make the rookie mistakes there and after 6 months to a year experience apply to OD.

 

I think more stability and retirement too.

 

Why not McElroy?
