    Is home time important to you?
    Many TMC drivers get home on weekends and Melton drivers don't, because Melton runs coast to coast.

    Man.....if you want to apply for Western Express, go for it. While they may not be the golden company of choice, they are a reputable company, and when you look for other jobs, they're valuable in the sense that you'll get experience. You can never have too many offers/options. Melton and TMC is cool...McElroy may be a better choice if you want regional. Perhaps PI&I would be a good option too. If Melton and TMC will take you, and they're your only choices, decide which color truck you like better and hit the road.
