    Haven't heard of Meiborg Brothers. I'll add that company to my list for dry van. Found this picture of one of their dry van trucks in Las Vegas:

    They are dryvan only. The do have a few flats that run around locally but nothing the road drivers will be pulling.

    Millis is all over Wisconsin. When I used to deliver beer there, I'd be dodging 20 of their trucks everywhere I went.

    Millis is forced per diem from what I have heard. Go with the smallest company you can, that pays the best, and has a yard close to your house.

    Optional, if you choose per diem they give more vacation time and slightly higher bonuses.
    But your cpm is much less so its a wash basically

    Veriha mostly keeps me in the Midwest. I sometimes get random runs East and so far just 1 to Texas.

    They do a fair bit of paper rolls or scrap out of Green Bay or Minneapolis.

    Well I decided to go with Schneider that all important 1st year. Dry van, 37 states, 11 on 3 off, .38 per mile. I start orientation 8/8/2017 in Green Bay. I talked to a few people and pretty much heard the same stuff about all carriers. A couple of them said they went through Schneiders training and have done pretty good. I chose them for this. All the school taught me was how to pass the CDL test. Now I need to learn to drive.
