    Dot, for sure, given the options you provided. How much experience do you have?

    I start orientation with DOT Foods on Monday so I'm a little biased. And while I'm brand spanking new the experience at the interview level has been completely different for me.. in a positive way.

    Abilene Motor Express - automatics and 100% driver no-touch freight. Lots of long runs with lots of drop & hook.

    Agree with Chinatown. Great company. Too far East for me though.

    Absolutely love Magnum, if you want a workout DOT allows you to lump your own freight which puts more money in your pocket. Really can't go wrong with any of them, it's more about what lifestyle fits you best...
