    I'm getting ready to take a refresher course at the trucking school I went to last year, I'm having trouble choosing a trucking company to start with. I live in NC near Greensboro, I'm considering doing flatbed, dry van or tanker. I don't mind going OTR but would like to find something regional or dedicated to be home every 2 weeks or so at least. Could someone help me with deciding on a company. Would like to stay away from the big mega carriers, will go if the pay & home time are decent!

    I know that some of those places require at least 1 year of experience, should I apply anyway? Is flatbed worth the extra work, I kinda deciding on tanker tho. What would be some good flatbed or dry van companies
