I live just north of Madison,Wi. I am looking for a company. So far I have talked to Schneider, HO Wolding. and Windy Hill. Any suggestions?
Just got my CDL from Madison WI.

I got offered 3 jobs today. OTR with Schneider and H.O.Wolding and flatbed with Melton. Any comments would be appreciated. I know I have a lot to still learn. Schneider seems to have a good training program and so does Melton.

All the medium to large companies have good training programs; they can't afford not to.
A few of the drivers may not be good trainees, but the opportunities are there if they can grasp it.ripcity renegade Thanks this. -

Mansur out of Janesville will hire students. Smaller flatbed outfit, I don't have any first hand experience but I've heard nothing but good about their program.
Meiborg Brothers out of Rockford is a smaller van company that will take students on a case by case basis. I would not recommend them unless you're an overachiever in comparison to most CDL school grads though... their program is not accomadating to those who need their hand held every step of the way.
Out of the 3 you listed that have sent offers I would go with Wolding as I've heard a lot better things about them than Schneider or Melton. But don't sell yourself short either, a lot of freight moves across 90/94 through than area and thus companies as well...ripcity renegade and Chinatown Thank this.
