    Magnum has a terminal on Greensboro NC. It’s more of a drop lot on Old Dominions property.
    They will fly you to North Dakota for orientation. After training you get assigned your own truck which you can bring home on home time or to the yard. I used to drop the trailer in Greensboro and bobtail home to Durham. They are a good training company.

    That have a lot of inbound and outbound freight in NC

    That's one of the ads I've seen. If I can bobtail to the house from Greensboro that would definitely be doable. Can you tell me more about their training?

    Sure. I haven’t worked there in a year... so go look at their thread in the ‘Discuss your favorite company here’ forum. Also @Oor is a trainer there.
    Basically, you drive all the miles and your trainer sits in the passenger seat. No teaming. 4 weeks of training. He teaches you the logs, electronic paperwork, customer relations, backing, real life driving situations, and parking options on Magnums routes. It was $75 a day when I was training in 2014.... not sure what it is now.
    Get your own truck in 30 days. A lot of Washington, Oregon, Texas, NC, GA ect. No California, Southwest, or Northeast of NJ and PA.
