    CR England is one of the ones that push leasing big time. I'd cross CRE off your list. If you read the threads here on them, I don't think anyone has done well with CRE.

    Ok. I am also looking to apply at Central referidgerated, CRST out of Iowa, and Prime inc. Would any of those be good to look into for being a solo company driver?

    Central Refer and Prime would be worth a bit more of a look. CRST (Crash Roll & Stunt Team - sorry couldn't help myself:biggrin_2559:) I would stay away from too. They are on about the same level as CRE. Swift and Watkins Shepard might be worth a look too if they are an option for you as well. There are threads here on all of those mentioned.

    Thank you LIl. I have been searching. I have narrowed it to Swift, Prime, Central, and Werner. Does Werner let you do solo company driver? The more I look into C.R. the more bad I find about it. What company do you drive for Lilbit?

    As far as I know, Werner still does solo company. The kids just took over as the old man retired, so who knows what is going to happen there. I started with Swift myself, drove and dispatched for a local outfit for a while, and then drove for another OTR outfit. I've actually been out of the seat since late 2000. My hubby has been on the road since late 2007, with a couple of short time periods out of the seat.

    Greetings from the Appleton area. Have you considered Schnieder National and going to a regional fleet? I think for OTR you might get home more with them.

    Ic. Yea I haven't really heard much bad about Swift. I will check out Werner.
    Hey there! I have heard people ragging on Schnieder. Is it really that bad? Haven't seen much on this site about it. You know how many weeks they are out?
