    What are the opinions of companies in the Southeast? I've heard good things about Carolina, Schneider, Werner and US Express for new drivers...local companies in the southeast you guys reccomend?

    Can't help much Doc, I'm doin the same thing you are. Funny how some of the threads on here have an abundance of useless babble & opinion while many like yours are simply ignored :smt102

    problem is you can't even apply to a "good" company without at least a year's experience

    If you want a training outfit and to only run in the Southeast, the only one I can think of is Schneider. Not sure if USX does just regional.

    We can turn it into a babble thread. It just takes a couple words, lol.

    You really need 1 year experience to find good jobs. USXpress and Covenant are in Chattanooga. There's a Scneider terminal there in Northern Georgia? Rocky Face? I see the trucks going in and out. Stay away from Werner.

    if you don't already have training I recommend Millis, if you already been to school they won't take you.

    I understand. I know I'm gonna have to get some time under my butt....It was the same way in Emergency Medical Services when I started that 20 yrs aog...start at a minimal pay private service to a good county service with real benefits....I'm willing to do my time as a rookie

    Though I live in the mid-west, I would probably take any except for maybe Schneider. Any company you go with, there are going to be things that you will not like about them. Good luck with your OTR career...............
