    I currently work for a company called Foodliner here in Chattanooga TN. I am sure many of you have heard of them and their reputation. But I have a opportunity to take a position with AAA Cooper and just trying to make a smart decision. I have driven for some years now but still like to hear what other drivers in the industry that’s been around for a while have to say. Any and all advice is appreciated and thanks

    Flip a coin. Heads you stay, tails you go.
    It’s how I handle life’s tough decisions and hasn’t failed me yet. :D

    It's the " grass is greener syndrome" . You need to compare wages/working conditions/home time.

    Exactly. I tried different companies severl times but ended right back where I started. I think the best thing is leave your options open if you leave. You want them to say welcome back if things don't work out.

    The only thing I've heard about AAA Cooper that's not great is they have driver-facing cameras. It's pretty good from what I hear.
