    The choice is tough, but based on internet research I think I am going to begin with Watkins and Shepard over KLLM and Falcon (flatbeds). Even though I really want flatbed work. TMC is not an option for me, Or Maverick (AUTOMATICS)..Have not heard back yet from PGT but after a while may try there. depends on how quickly flats open up at W/S. Does anyone have any reasons that I may be making the wrong 1st choice here....open to input...thanks all.

    Too bad about TMC. That would be my first recommendation to anyone who wanted to flatbed and could get approved through them. Roehl is not a bad flatbed option for a MI driver.

    It all depends on what you want, regular hometime and regional work, or more miles/money and to see the country.

    FYI, you don't select a company, they select you.......moral of the story ? apply at several, and if the company you "select" doesn't hire you, you have a plan "b".
