    PTL runs Eastern half of USA and dry van.

    Scarborough has a bigger variety; van, flatbed, reefer and runs 48 states. They have some day cabs which may mean some local work.

    I'd go with Scarborough because I personally like running 48 states.

    Probably make a decent paycheck with either company.

    Keep us posted if it's a good company or not.
    Best wishes.

    If you live in Virginia, look at Abilene Motor Express also.

    I feel like Im limited on option due to a felony from 09. Most places said I need experience first.

    The felony is 5 years old; should be good to go with most companies. Can't enter Canada though.

    There's dozens of companies that will hire you. You have 2 pretty good job offers already. PTL runs lots of Texas freight. Anyway, in 6 months you can go about anywhere you want if you have a clean driving record.
