    Schneider probably has something you'd be interested in. www.schneiderjobs.com
    They have some jobs where you're home every day and some maybe 2 or 3 times a week.
    Schneider has some cdl schools and also contracts with some private cdl schools.

    I think Jones Bros is the flatbed outfit on the same road with Jim Palmer in Missoula. Lots of Allie Knight videos driving to the yard.

    Millis Transfer has a terminal in Cartersville Georgia, ALOT of freight running through Atlanta, if you do regional will be home weekends and can be home through the week too. They have CDL training and I would recommend it. I had some great training at Cartersville and can answer any questions you might have

    From what I read on their site seems to be a pretty good company to start out with.

    They don't hire in Colorado though. They're east of I-35 mostly. Their trucks are set up right for driver comfort. New cdl grads must graduate from Millis cdl school. Get a Tennessee address and they'll hire you for their cdl school.

    I was thinking the same, want to move to Tennessee first then do training. Do they have those APUs that provide heating and a/c?

    Do 12 mos. with Millis Transfer, then if you decide you want more home time, switch to Old Dominion Freight Lines or Estes Express. Those two are expanding in the Knoxville area and should have some excellent line haul jobs available. My buddy in another part of Tennessee drives for Estes Express and has a regular line haul run to Indianapolis every night and home every day. Not sure if he runs 5 days a week or 6 days a week, but makes $70K per year. You can do the same if you want.
    R&L Carriers probably has a Knoxville terminal and they do the same as Old Dominion and Estes Express.
    Old Dominion and Estes Express have the better reputation though.
