    I added some more companies in case other drivers in your area, maybe right out of cdl school, are reading your thread.

    @FlyingHome --

    Suggestion: after you spend about 8 months running for Swift in either dry van or reefer -- start looking for opportunities within Swift's intermodal division.

    Intermodal -- "Where the rubber meets the rail" :Railway:

    Chicago is an intermodal town, and intermodal opportunities should be there.

    Why?

    After you get some OTR experience -- with intermodal, you will spend more time backing up a trailer -- and less time just flying down the interstate.

    And as a beginning driver -- you need that backing practice. :thumbup:

    I ran for over a year in Schneider's intermodal group. It's good experience.

    Not every driver out there has intermodal seat time -- so that experience also helps you stand out from other driver applicants, later on with future job opps.

    Think about it....:scratch:
