    I will finish my 6 week training program Febuary 5th. I am starting to look for companies to finish my training and drive with. Can some of you experienced drivers give me some ideas of who and what I should look at. I would like to look at some local companies as well as some of the larger ones. I was told about a company out of Ft. Worth Tx that run reefers, but I would also like to know about Tankers(I might go that direction). Please give my your thoughts and opinions.

    My advice to you would be to do your homework. Research a company thoroughly. Also I would stress to read between the lines when you read forum messages. You may get good solid advice or you may just be reading the ramblings of a disgruntled whiner. Ask a lot of questions before committing to a job and take time to think over your decision. A lot of states are implementing idle laws so when you choose a company be sure to inquire about their idling policies because you don't want to freeze or bake.

    Good luck.
