    Will have CDL in a couple weeks. NC address, but not tied to it. Prehired with DHT and Freymiller.

    Just looking for opinions on both companies and maybe other recommendations - Wiltrans/Jim Palmer said no due to a 3 yr old traffic accident. I'd like to be trained well and avoid NE. Regional or long haul and am open to tanker, flatbed.

    Thanks for any advice.

    DHT and Freymiller are both good choices.
    DHT doesn't do the Northeast, so that's a plus since you don't want to go there.
    Senn Freight Lines is flatbed & does lots of west coast runs.
    Magnum Ltd. has a NC terminal.
    Milan Express has regional.
    Tyson Foods
    McLane Companies is regional.
