    You're going to be the best judge. Wish I could offer some help. Do your research and commit to the one which you feel you'll fit in the best. I'm sure there's others that will be along and post from experience.

    Good luck!

    This is a joke right. You live in a premier hiring are for trkg. companies and this is the best list you came up with. I suggest you do some more research. You can throw a rock anywhere near Atlanta and hit a co. far better than the ones you listed. I was born and raised and started my career of trkg. in Atlanta so if you would like some better suggestions than what you have listed PLEASE ask.

    just how far south of atlanta do you live...
    Did you work for Prime Time?

    just a thought.. have you been to Ellenwood latley
    maybe go down moreland ave and conley areas
    plenty of companies down that way

    with 5 years of experience I would choose NONE of the ones you have listed there....

    I have bills and have been out of work all this month. I don't live in Atl. I live 20 miles east of Tifton Ga. I have called every trucking company I could think of and these where about the only three that would hire someone that far south. I have a friend who works as a l/p driver at Dart. I have seen his pay stubs and although its only been a few months he likes them and after ALL deductions he hasn't pocketed less than 1000.00 a week yet. My wife has 1 more year or so in nursing school then I am going to ind a non trucking job so a lease is not what I want but it is a walk away. I'm leaning JB due to home time and the Target DC here.
