    I hauled cars from 2011-2014 and did 300,000 accident and damage free miles. I'm 47 and lost my CDL due to stupidness of letting it expire when I moved to Florida. Now I'm in Virginia and have my learners permit again. I don't have access to a truck to complete the vehicle inspection or road test. That's ok in my world and about to pull the trigger for a year with a tuition covered CDL training program. After a year I can go any route I want and confident I won't loose my CDL again. I live debt free life and this is my approach because I like structure and understand it's just a year. I'm seeing some companies offering over 50K the first year and that's the biggest deciding factor in my decision. I've been doing my homework on the 12 companies that have contacted me but wanted some real life advice and that's why I'm here asking the pros.
    The list is the 12 options that I have and Who would You pick ?
    Thank you for your time. I appreciate it.

    I'd go with Jim Palmer Trucking or K&B Transportation.
    K&B has guaranteed minimum weekly pay where you can make more, but not less.
    I agree with @keen98 that Millis Transfer is a good choice, but they only run eastern half of USA.
     
    nowright and Need4Speed Thank this.

    I miss driving West of Texas and enjoyed Oregon the most but now having the fam here in Virginia staying on this side doesn't seem too bad. Thanks for the heads up on Millis.
