    Yeah, like I said I'm already scheduled with Swift, my gut tells me they are better than Western. Just want some opinions. If I get an offer from Henderson, I'm going to Caseyville.
    I played the game before. I trained with Schneider and then did a year to pay it back. Then I was able to get a better job. Schneider sucked, but I knew I had to pay some dues and get some experience. I am really hoping to get on with Henderson. based on what I have seen, they appear to be an outfit I would want to stay at for a good while. I just don't like the thought of constantly switching around to different companies.

    If you don't mind driving at 60mph all day then go for it, different coloured Hood same issues all over again, anyone will be happy at any company provided you get paid right and on time and you get on pretty well with your dispatcher.

    As solo you can only run so much you are going to have down time eventually so why not have tv IMO or you can always stream porn and play with yourself to kill downtime

    Been going through the same thing. It's a toss up between Swift and Western Express too. Like everyone is saying though, they have driver facing cameras. Only positive thing about Swift is that they probably have better trucks and better terminals than Western Express. The TV thing is only for their OTR fleet..not for Regional I believe. As for Earl Henderson. Out of my hiring area.
