    I want a company that will run me ragged, and get me home on most weekends. Fresh out of the military, and want a company that will keep me moving all week long for 3000+ miles. The higher the better.

    New driver will probably end up with England, Swift or Werner. You are going to NEED 3,000+ miles a week to make any money at the $0.31 cents they run you for. Only thing is you will run for 2-3 weeks before getting home. Your best bet is to find a small company that runs regional so you make decent money for less miles and get home on the weekends. Good Luck as you will need it.

    Flat or van?

    If flat, go with Combined Transport (not sure if they take students). Hometime is not an option from what I understand.

    Yeah i figured, i did talk to btc and tmc. Btc says every weekend guaranteed on % pay. Tmc says most weekends home on % pay as well. But tmc i can draw my gi bill too through there apprentice program. Then again i could put in my year with the btc, then go to a company i can draw my gibill through. Just looking to see if theres a "secret" company that gets you home and paid.
