    Posted in new driver section. Interested in hearing from the experienced.

    Teaming right now. Interested in doing US Xpress or Conway - or going solo at JB Hunt.

    I plan to go solo within 1 for awhile anyway.

    What's the best option?

    Covenant has announced a lot of news and changs. They also will reimburse you $100 a day for each day they miss you hometime. Capped out at $200 though, but you get the point. Covenant will try as hard as they can to get you home on time to avoid paying that $100. They got reefers and dry vans, lots of good oppurtunities. I'm training with them at the moment. So far covenant seems like a real nice company. Me and my trainer were getting a lot of drop and hook runs from all these ltl carriers.
