    She's already chosen a company; CR England. She signed on the dotted line.

    Romy Schneider said the same. Schneider tried, but failed to hire her. No reefer job openings at Schneider. Reefer drivers make more money.

    Some intermodal drivers did quite well while I was there.

    It's amazing how much you could make when the customer & the railyard were fairly close to each other.

    Some of them even might have been able to afford Romy.....:love5:

    @Lady Kay --

    If you are still looking for that very first carrier to start things off -- & are put off by the idea of running with a really large fleet, or so-called "mega-carrier"...where you are a name/number on a big list -- you might like to know about/look into driving for Wiley Sanders, in Troy, AL:

    Truck Lines | Company Fleet | Shippers | On-Time Delivery | Wiley Sanders | Troy, Alabama

    They have a starter/training program for brand new drivers that isn't too short; a lady co-worker I know started out with them -- & she is a very good driver.

    I see their rigs quite a bit, & their equipment always appears to be in good shape.

    Their fleet appears to be ALL Kenworth tractors.

    They pull other types of freight besides just dry van (example: dry bulk tanker) -- so you could get diversified freight experience there, also.
