    I just got done talking with my dad and he suggested that I try going with TMC to run flatbed so he can switch over from Super Service and we can team up and run. He's been trucking most of his life and would much rather run with him. I was looking at Stevens or FFE and also Swift but am now going to look into TMC'S training program.

    But you are the same distance from the ground no matter what elevation you are at. Wait until you are at 11,000 feet on I70 in Colorado.

    US Xpress takes recent grads for training. They don't have their own school like the OP wants though.
