    My wife is looking at TransAm as a potential company to drive for out of US truck driving school. I will be a rider and assisting where I can. She has wanted to drive OTR for some time so at this point we thought it would be a good career for us to do till we retire. No kids now so home time is not as big a deal. At face value with all we could evaluate, they look very impressive and believe me we have researched at last count 23 OTR companies. If you have helpful information on TransAm or can (highly recommend) a company, it would be appreciated! We Know that there is good and bad with every company but really we can see that there are some companies that look like a better starter company with better longevity if handled right.

    Don't know if schneider hires out there or not but i think they would be a 100 times better than TA. Those meat plants really can be a pain with alot of sitting. Schneider will keep you running alot more IMO.

    Ah, those meat packing plants, always located in the boonies, no place to eat, that waifting smell of freshly killed livestock intermingled with other smells, rude security personnel, long wait times, a nice porta-pottie when nature calls, dusty parking areas, inept office workers. Ya' gotta love it.......
