    Congratulations on passing school and getting licensed.

    Are those companies your only options? If not you might want to compare those with others...

    Is the fiance a driver also? Many companyies will not allow a rider for a while.

    Welcome to the forum!

    If i was you I would broaden my horizons & look at different companies like TMC, Maverick for flat-bed training if thats what you want. Their's a lot better reefer or dry van companies out there then the 2 you looked at. Just my 2c

    Hey there, She isn't a driver but she is joining me after my 6-8 weeks training. I havent gone to orientation yet with either company, but if you don't mind me asking, what is wrong with those companies in your guys opinions? TMC showed up to my school a few weeks ago, but I am interested in Dry van at the time. What comapnies would you recomend to me? I am looking for something where I will get great training & The rider program is a big deal to me as well. I don't mind if home time is little or not.
