Just PTL, and Maverick so far. PTL is ready to move forward and Mavrick might be as well depending on my Dr. Visit.

Here's some more to consider:
FFE (Frozen Food Express) - has a terminal in Chicago and hires Illinois cdl drivers.
Dynamic Transit - headquartered in St. Louis.
Freymiller - they hire new cdl grads through their "Restore Program" which is on the website.
West Side Transport - has guaranteed minimum weekly paycheck.
Butler Transport
Navajo Express
What's the issue on the doctor visit? Anything major?Bobcat_Bob Thanks this. -
Thanks for the info I'll check them out.
I hope not I got hired my Roehl last year but they sent me home because my heart rate was a little high on their company fitness test. So I going to get it checked out.Chinatown Thanks this. -
That' happens, usually to smokers or someone who had a sedentary life before cdl school.

Don't smoke but I was/ am sedentary as I drove a limo/cab before.
-
That's probably it then. In hindsight, doing some daily stair step excercises would probably have prevented that.

Indeed, knowing what I know now, I would have walked around the airport parking lot more when waiting on people.
Thanks for Westside transport I saw them around Chicago all the time but forgot about them they have a nice home week ends dedicated route Id like. So filled out quick app for them to contact me.BigTennOTR Thanks this.
