    You will do much exploration on that dedicated route. For about the first 2 weeks. Than you will be on the same dull route. Enjoy.

    You seriously should look further. That's only one offer.
    I'm one week into training. I have a dozen companies who would take me tomorrow.
    Schneider is very anal. Have to wear boots they supply. Uniform. No pets. etc.
    Jet set. There is no way you can bring the stuff you really want in that truck while you live in it for three weeks. Only what you carry on the plane.
    Also with dedicated. You'll be going the same places all the time. You won't get out to see the country, so to speak.
    There are many good companies who want you. Think about it.

    BlackEverythingx, Gearjammer79 is right. Dedicated, for some people, will get really old, really fast. If you are looking to get out on the open road, go to it. There are many smaller companies that pay pretty well, will let you see 48 states and maybe Canada. Won't micromanage you. And it will be a lot longer before you feel like pulling your hair out. You will find many people on TTR who recommend dedicated and home every night runs. That fine for some folks, but would make me bonkers in a week or two. Just go find a 48 state OTR carrier, and never look back. In 25 years driving, I've always been OTR. It's the only way to truck, IMHO. And DITTO what WesternPlains said.

    That account is fairly easy money. Pittsburgh area stores northeast Ohio northern West Virginia. Hardest store to get to on a winding backroad is Kingwood WV.

    Erie PA area will be the worst stores in winter cuz of snow.
    Take it slow at stores don't hit anything!!!
