    FFE (Frozen Food Express) has refresher course and also has a terminal in Chicago. This is good because you have somewhere to park the truck during home time. Do the online app. and wait it out.

    Did you get job offers from any others besides TransAm & Western Express?
    What about Freymiller and Navajo Express; any luck?

    I'd put FFE as a first choice because they have a terminal there; Chicago.
    Pride is probably ok; they're strict about drivers they hire. @Snowshoes works there and been there a few years.

    7 weeks is about the average since you're basically a new driver. Navajo has nice equipment.
    They've been running ads they will fly you to orientation.
