    I have whittled down my options for companies to drive for. I am stuck with Prime and Schneider, I have read up on both but would like to hear any additional input I can get since I need to make a decision this weekend. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You list 10 years but ask this question? Why the urgency of this weekend? If that is the only choice out of everything go with Schneider.

    I would go with Schneider & later try to switch to their tanker/hazmat division. Prime has tanker but it's food grade. Prime does have APU's, but Schneider isn't too strict on ldling. What is your location?

    I have 10 years trucking in general, not necessarily A, I was going to change that. i am in northern Florida but am going to relocate to Pennsylvania hopefully soon. I work for Pepsi and got my A through them so out of the companies that I have available easily to me I have narrowed it down to Prime and Schneider. I appreciate the input. The importance of this weekend is that I need to make a decision and get out with a company, i'm drowning with Pepsi.

    From what I've read on here, PA is good country for Schneider. Also Schneider tanker work there; for future reference.
