Looking for input to start over

Well i got my cdl in early july and went with a company straight out of school. Didnt work out there and they found out i wanted to leave and terminated me. You may have read it in another thread by me but i wanted to start a fresh one just focusing on the best place to get my career going. So far i have had calls from Deboer, u.s. express, western express, p.t.l. , werner, and super service. Ive read alot of bad about them all but sometimes you gotta just deal with it when you make a bad choice. Something that could have me home each weekend is ideal but i know its not exactly a reality in this industry. Just really looking for a second chance in the industry and be able to make a decent living with a decent company. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated!! I still fall into the new driver category so i dont really have any experience besides the three week training i did with my previous company. Located in cincinnati ohio area.

 

Alot of it had to do with how they found out and the money they lost on me. I should not have mentioned it on here before talking it over with the company first. Towards the end of ending orientation i was going to explain the situation but i shouldve done it as soon as i came in. I do have a couple options though that can get you home each week. DeBoer offered a regional run but at .27 cents a mile. Read alot about bad equipment though with them and they aren't a fan of toll roads but im not ruling anything out at this point. U.S. X. offered a couple different dollar tree and dollar general accounts. Ive watched them try to get into some of those stores here...looked like a real pain! Schneider offered me two options, one being wal-mart dedicated out of washington courthouse ohio and the other being regional out of columbus ohio. Both offered weekly hometime and ok starting pay. While making lunch i just got a call from cheeseman trucking but i doubt they will want me after i explain what happened at the last company. Thats usually when they drop the not hire-able bomb. Right now though im leaning towards the wal-mart dedicated, good hometime and i used to work for wal-mart back in 07. Just think it would be nice being the guy watching the unload instead of being the guy doing it like i did for a couple years.

 

I've been trying to get a hold of PTL but I can't seem to get through. They could have me back in a truck as early as next week so it would be nice to get back at it! It stinks just sitting around home. Any idea what their pay and hometime is like?

 

I appreciate any input, so thank you. There's a link to my other thread a few posts up that explains what happened. In a nutshell I mentioned on here that I was putting in a two week notice. My former employer saw it and terminated me. The reason other companies don't want to hire me is because I am not re-hireable and my lack of any real experience. Only had 3 weeks with a trainer. Money isn't everything to me, believe it or not I didn't get my cdl for the money. Even though it is nice getting good checks. I did this because it's the only thing I've wanted to do. As long as I can clear 400 a week after taxes I'd be content.

 

I did put in an app with con-way but I haven't heard anything back. Western Express and P.T.L. have been making hard pushes to get me to come work for em. I'm just concerned about all the bad press on here about them. Ideally a nice weekly hometime regional gig would be nice. If it wasn't for the family I'd have no issues staying out for weeks. Keep trying to talk the wife into it but I just get the evil eye and I know better than to cross that lol! Well back to the phone calls , the hunt continues
