    I've heard some of the fedex ground contractors will hire out of certain cdl schools.

    The driver-facing camera is the main reason I don't consider them.

    I don't know. Went to Canada many times, but as a solo driver.

    If we're going down that road, which of all the less-than-ideal megas would best approximate some sort of terminal to terminal out and back type job?

    Thanks for that info
    I was being a little sarcastic as it seems there’s always some wrench thrown into the mix
    But that’s good info for anyone else needing that

    ?
    if you use that. Will they allow you to put that as your physical address as you need something on the drivers license

    When I went to get my CDL, here in IL, I had to provide proof of residency via utilities and/or lease agreement.

    The best answer there....of which I'm aware....would be intermodal duty.

    For that--you're looking at Schneider, or Swift, or J B Hunt.

    Those are the big intermodal players in the "less-than-ideal mega" world.

    Especially Schneider and J B Hunt.

    But I'm not aware of any training opportunites for teams in the intermodal world.

    I've done intermodal work--it's NOT a good starting point for rookies, in my experience.
