    Logan,

    You need to check into YRC Road Driver opportunity. I don't know about all terminals, but I am always back home in less than 36 hours. It pays reasonable and is the easiest job I ever had, not to mention respect from the office staff. I know I sound like a sales person or recruiter, but that because if every company is like YRC all truckers will take pride in their profession. I don't even know if we really have recruiters. I applied online, they interviewed me at the local terminal...

    I know PTL not one of the best but they will probably honor your experience without training after that 6 months to a year you can move forward Abilene out of VA also. Wait for @Chinatown he will have other good opportunities.

    Holland Enterprises isn't local/regional; it's OTR, but the rider policy starts at day one.
    Probably take him to orientation and stay in the hotel.
    Trucks set up right with refrigerators, satellite tv,Tri-pac APU, etc.

    I don't think Schneider is that slow anymore. I see them passing me all the time...

    Thanks! It hasn't been easy, and it hasn't always been fun, But we refuse to stop or be beaten by anything. He's a great kid, super smart, respectful, and he's a machine, that's made it a little easier, I must admit.
     
    Nwernig Thanks this.

    Well, their contractor fleet isn't governed, and the company drivers used to be set at 63 mph. Hopefully that changed with the times. Lol

    Good luck.
    Don't let anyone give you grief for the education. We home schooled our three and it has been a blessing. He can learn more about life and what it takes to make it in the world better with you than in a classroom. Everyday is an education.
