    Yes. 3.5 years I was home all but one weekend because of a breakdown.

    Home time is very good at CT. Although you are considered OTR really your more like regional. I'll give my loads for the week as an example...

    Left Monday 1,100 miles to Minnesota.
    Left Minnesota 1,400 miles to Mass.
    Left Mass 1,025 miles to South Carolina
    Left S.C.
    630 miles to Maryland
    Maryland back to NC 480 miles
    Back ay terminal at 1:00 am Saturday morning.

    THIS WAS A TEAM RUN!!
    You can leave on Sunday or Monday depending on the load you want. I don't know anybody who can beat CT on home time and still bring home $700.00 per week.

    Well, here at zenith last week I left out Sunday about 6:30 PM, spent one night during the week at my families home in Michigan, two other nights in a motel which will be reimbursed by zenith. Got home Friday at 5:30pm. Drove exactly 2100 miles, which I will get paid for every single one of them. Grossed Right over $1300, take-home well over $900. It can be done at other companies

    Is that possible for someone straight out of school with Zenith?

    No. You would need two to three years of experience. Not a lot of people like doing this kind of work either, the week I listed above included 24 stops, and two pick ups around detroit. All furniture. Almost 100% driver touch.

    No doubt in my mind that there is not a better company to train with then cargo. No other company treats students, and compensates them as fairly as they do. Once You get a couple of years of experience in you may find that you would want to make a career out of them, if not, there are plenty of other options to choose from

    Heed this advice. I don't know about Conway, but SNI is not the company it once was. Same is true for many outfits, but in this case, I think Smurf is right on. Good luck in whatever you do!

    What is the contact info for the recruiter? Right now I'm only able to use email, being in Japan. We have a Magic Jack phone, but its not clear at all. Once I'm back I can follow up face to face.

    Thank you! I will send out an email shortly!

    EDIT: It has been sent! I know I am a few weeks away from even getting back home, but I am beginning to get a little excited and a little apprehensive at the same time. Haven't felt this way since I went to Iraq, lol!
