    I will be calling Ellen Tomorrow, however I may not have to go through school again, since I graduated from a driving school, just would have to test out to get my cdl

    It's down to them, Maverick (glass), or Roehl (flatbed or dry van). My school finishes at the end of July, so I want to know where I'm going before then.

    JPT long hauls are very attractive. Plus that .05 cpm weekly fuel bonus is rare in the industry not to mention the .40cpm starting wage. I made .29 at my first OTR Job

    Certainly, however, the other 2 are competitive for the $ plus other variables important to me. I'm applying to all three and will, in a few weeks, see who makes an offer and then have to make a difficult decision.
