    Im currently driving a city bus, but i want to get into truck driving because i cant stand dealing with passengers. I already have my class A. Im married with 2 boys that are 4 and 8, so my wife doesn't want me gone long on the road. Does anyone know of any companies that has pretty good home time in Charlotte NC that would take someone with no experience?

    Veriha Trucking is home weekends. They have a refresher course also which is probably all you need.
    Watkins-Shepard hauls furniture out of Concord,NC so try them also.

    If Veriha or Schneider hires you, stick around long enough to get one of those good tanker outfits in your area or North Carolina. Make about average $65K running tankers. Bulkmatic, A&R Logistics, Superior-Carriers, and 4 or 5 more.
    Schneider owns Watkins-Shepard.
    Veriha, Schneider, Watkins-Shepard probably want a refresher course. Most refresher courses are 40 hrs. or less. Veriha has their own refresher inhouse. There's probably one near you at one of the cdl schools too.

    Are you kidding? I can't imagine a worse driving job. I'd rather be in a CR England rap video.
