    I am quickly coming up on my 6 months recent experience. To let you know the first company I drove for was Ollie Freightways. Truck had air powered wipers, stepped on front tire to get in cab. My wife on the other hand doesn't have her CDL she is 60ish, and wants to team. We have 2 smallish dogs. We want OTR Long Haul. Dry Van, Reefer, will consider other options . We live in south central PA but want to stay out 3 wks or more. Any opinions appreciated. @Chinatown ?

    From my understanding, CRST Dedicated is best.
    So, she wants a trucking company cdl school vs. a private school?

    Yes, but I've learned get more details and be sure. Spend a lot of time trying to give a good answer, then someone throws a monkey wrench into the works.....lol.

    We don't have the cash to put out, would you recommend CRST over CFI?

    CFI has a whole lot better reputation than CRST. Better trucks, everything really
