Reefer outfits don't want drivers touching freight anymore. Elogs put a stop to that.
Shipper loads the freight and a lumper service unloads it. So just flip a coing between reefers & dry van.

Awesome information, thank you! I really liked the idea of Prime and the 1-on-1 on the job training idea. Seems to be straight to the point.

I’d go with system transport. Good school and a good company. I made 55k my first year there.
Truckie911 Thanks this. -
Awesome, that's great. How are the benefits? I have a daughter with Epilepsy, and a wife with medical problems?

They are basically like every other large trucking companies benefits. Usually not great and expensive for a family. But anymore that’s just how it seems to be

You may be comfortable with large vehicles. That is a plus.
But when it's time to come off Cabbage on ice at 40 ton and 18 mph downgrade... it will be something. Fortunately you would have practiced on many smaller ones before you got that far west loaded.
You probably know this already but everyone has something that is a real problem in trucking. Spouse had a issue with wide open nothing in Nevada one day. You think you know yourself and someone well, but when you find a situation not to your liking due to a phobia of heights or some other terror things get interesting.
You might want to look into Tanker work. Nice amount of detail and not too much lumping for your back. -
