    What @Dave_in_AZ said. Suck it up and do that year. When you come out of that there will be real opportunities for your next step.

    Ask me how I know. LOL

    oh ya. Don’t hit ####. Be professional. Don’t get tickets.

    New driver's is 1,000 sign on bonus. 2,500 is for experienced. Most all of them starter companies you mentioned should be avoided, the mostly suck. Check with Florida Beauty Supply, they traine new license holders without being bussed half way across the country for BS. Schneider is a good starting point with a good training program.

    Night and day doesn’t even begin to describe how much better.

    but do you know what I miss? In my WE truck I always had a crowd when I would back up just to see if I could. In my landstar truck no one pays attention. Sad.

    Like I said, whatever you do, wherever you go, just stay there for a year.
