    Hello,
    I'm looking to get into this career late in life. I'm interested in Trailiner for the training but also the fact I get into Springfield weekly. I would like info on the company such as:
    Home time
    Mileage
    Slip seating
    Team program
    And info on other companies that run regional with good home time
    Thanks
    Mike

    It's difficult to find that weekly hometime.
    You can check with Wil-Trans and Millis Transfer though. They both have their own cdl training. Both have good reputation, but don't know how their hometime will be in your location.

    No, that was me. The website froze and I hit the post reply 3 times, then when the website started working again, the same post showed 3 times.

    Ok...Thank you
    When I spoke with Trailiner recruiter. She advised I would run team on either a West Coast relay or New England relay back to Springfield. I was just curious how that worked out with mileage and home time.

    Relay means somewhere in between point A and point B you swap trailers and continue on, thus keeping the truck moving. An example is, a solo driver picks up a load in South Carolina that delivers in California. The solo driver reaches Memphis or maybe Springfield, then gives the load to a team, then the team runs it to California.
    Trailiner may have their routes set up so the majority swaps are done in Springfield. If that's the case, you'd see your house once a week.
