    i feel bad for the both of you. those areas are not high traffic areas so your probably having troubles of a company getting you home. hate to say it but relocation might be your best bet.

    I will be starting with Prime Feb 5th and probably relocating out to CO in the next year. We currently live right off a major interstate which probably helped our situation but it is tough to find a OTR company to take you on while living in NE. Best of luck with your search...

    I've talked to a few companies that I can get on with but it also depends on what school I go to. In the end I felt the Teamsters school was going to be the best decision. There are tons of ltl jobs in the area and I'm not hung up on local. I want regional or otr if the home time is right. Best of Luck to you too Alamosa14 and danvan. Danvan I seen on another post you got some prehires. it might be time to just grab one and go for it, get the experience. they say 3mo to 6mo will open more doors than just being a newbie with a license and nowhere to go.:biggrin_25520:

    The more research I do the more it seems that the problem will be home time or you find a company that you think is good then all of a sudden you read post from newbies saying they're getting shafted or the company lost major accounts and is now treating their drives like crap.

    Check conway at the first of the year if you wait arround. You will do more dock work at first then hit the road.They pay 18+ an hour. They have terminals in Ma.:biggrin_25511:

    I went to NETTTS in No Andover Mass, I think I would like to do dry van, seems like the easiest to start with. Flatbed requires more exp, refer has more BS to deal with and I dont have a tanker license

    I checked with conway already, no good. but I will try again after the 1st, there is a terminal 20 min north of me.
