    Give Epes or Old Dominion a shot. Both big in your neck of the woods.

    If I was going to do OTR Creet would defiantly be a choice for me. Also US Xpress would be one as well, there teams do pretty good from what I have heard. I've always kind of wanted to try OTR work, but ehh ended up being a food/beverage driver instead which has it's perks. I spend as much time driving a 2 wheel hand truck as I do a tractor trailer ha-ha! :Courier: I don't know how many miles a day I walk either, but it adds up to be quite a bit.

    Knight Transportation has a refrigerated division. They accept applicants from NC. I believe your home terminal for that state would be Memphis, TN. They take new grads.
