I would be willing to say the money will be the same at either. Especially once you pay to live on the road. I am anti mega fleet though. So I am a little bias. I would go with the local company if they are a good solid place. Just my two cents.

 

Not that I advocate doing it, but you can always B.S. Your way into a local gig, if you are confident in your skills to pull it off. You don't have to tell everything you know or don't know.

 

Nothing wrong with construction. I don't mind it. At the end of your shift you go home. I don't want to live in a truck.

 

Until one of those 4-5 day flooding rain spells that happens once or twice a year in South Texas, then you're STUCK at home for a week watching the bills keep coming in

 

That's true, but Freymiller will probably be better. Freymiller has a "Restore Program" you probably qualify for.
JBS Carriers will probably hire him also.
FFE (Frozen Food Express) has refresher.
If you're only going to stick around 6 months, it doesn't really matter which company you get the refresher with.
