    You don't have to relocate unless you want to. Did you check out any companies yet?

    Hey Dragon,

    I'm actually applying to the truck driving school at MATC Oak Creek.Just working out funding. I took the commercial learners permit class with them not too long ago. Dan and Peter are great instructors.

    If I were you, would apply to companies that don't require another physical and will use the physical you got for CDL school. No need to let another doctor screw things up for you.
    Here's some and maybe other drivers know of some others:
    Freymiller
    Magnum Ltd.
    J&R Schugel
    Do online applications during the first week of cdl school. Don't wait until graduation. Apply to all of them.

    I started with Knight Refrigerated and had a great experience and have a lengthy thread on here about it. They have a terminal in Green Bay. Ran hard with them coast to coast.

    I worked as a driver manager for Maverick. The CPM is outstanding but your hours will be fully maximized. It isn't for everybody. The miles were mediocre but the pay was good. The primary running area is also pretty small.

    Everyone needs drivers, do your research and find one that runs where you want to run and can meet your home time needs. Hang out at a truck stop on a corridor near home and watch who is coming. Get a feel for the companies targeting your area.

    I highly recommend going reefer. Pays really well and keeps you moving year round.
