    Preapproved to be hired by all three. Which would you choose. I do not want to live in a truck out 4 or 5 days but after that I want some home time.

    I take it you mean 4-5 weeks. I only have experience with Schneider. From what you can read on this website, Werner is a definite no. Crete is so-so it seems. Where do you live? 6 years shpuld get you something much better than those three, depending on your record.

    I was baffled by the "days" part myself....pretty optimistic if 4 to 5 days is what was meant.

    Yes I meant 4 to 5 days maybe 6 but in short I want a local Driving Job. A local Rock Hauler would even suit me. I drove many years ago but nothing recent. I have my CDL A with Hazmat and Tanker.

    So...where do you live. You may have to take a refresher course or go with a trainer depending on how long you have been out of the seat. Those three companies have dedicated to get you home in 5-6 days. JB Hunt has some nice accounts as well.

    Waco TX Just sent an email to JB Hunt. Saw a run for somebody that was two days up and two days back. That would be great for me. I am a Retiree that needs extra income to survive. Just came out of Trucking school.

    I've heard good and bad about all three. Personally I'm leaning towards Werner, for I to am looking to get started.

    Probably want to stay away from Schneider.....especially if you can't take more than 4-5 days....good luck on that!
