Hi folks. I'm Chris from Texas. I'm a newly separated Army Infantry veteran of 6 years with 3 tours in Iraq. I've been looking at several OTR companies to provide me with some training and get my career started if college doesn't pan out and I stumbled upon this forum when doing research. Needless to say, just in the past day or two, I have found tons of info on here (good and bad). I think I've narrowed my choices down to Roehl and Schneider. If any of yall have any input that would be great. I look forward to learning from you folks and talking to some of you.
Hey yall

Hello DieselSharker and Welcome

Thank you for your many years of dedicated service to our country.
We look forward to posting with you!!! -
Thanks! I can tell this site is well-moderated by your signature. I'm on a Dodge Cummins forum that has issues with different people posting over and over again about the same topic because no-one learns to use the search function and there are always issues with people getting banned or suspended for breaking simple rules. This seems like a great site with lots of great folks.Baack and kickin chicken Thank this.

I'm by Ft Hood right now, originally from the RG Valley, but I don't really have a preference right now as to where to locate myself in the little time I will be off, as long as it's here in TX. I'll look into it, thanks!
Thanks

Many thanx for your service in the military, sir.
And a Star Spangled WELCOME to the forums.
Back in the day, I started my Big truck truck drivin' career with
Schneider, where I eventually became a driver trainer. Back then,
Schneider had an excellent program for former military members.
I don't know if they still do, but if so, if I were you, I'd check them
out. If nothing else, they're a good place to start. And they're not
like some of the other larger training truckin' companies that abuse their drivers.
Whatever you decide, I wish you good luck and the best of success.
Diesel_Smurf and Baack Thank this. -
