Which Co is good & as a rookie what Co/position should I consider

Try these for local; can't hurt to try:
Ward Trucking
Averitt Express
Southeastern Freight Lines

 

Melton is OK, it's flatbed and a good reputation. I'd work there because they have good long runs.

What the heck; it's a place to start and get some experience. If you don't like it, you can leave.
I was thinking of the home daily and free college education for the family.
At least you're getting some job offers; now just choose whichever is most appealing to your wants & needs.

 

You misunderstood me on the "what the heck" phrase; we use that in my hillbilly Tennessee talk. It's used in conversation when we're try to make a decision, such as "Where should we eat; I'm hungry; McDonalds or Arbys?"
"What the heck; let's go to Arbys today."

 

Truckers & sailors use that phrase a lot, or similar; "what the "h###" vs. "heck."
I'm both in my long working life; trucker & sailor.
