I hear ya on the economy, there are a bunch of people with their heads in the sand on that one.
I went this way mostly to get a Gov job, those are getting few and far between as well. I guess if I have to I'll go the school route.
Starting out for rookies

If you go with a big box you'll be able to get in right away. You will be able to show them your stuff allowing them to recognize what you have to offer them. So if the market really takes a bigger dump you will be in place. If you wait they won't have chance to see you because they won't be hiring.
There is talk that big guys are slowing down too, EI. Swift and Schneider. Sni is showing their slow down by taking on students who will drive "team only". This isn't everywhere but it seems to be spreading. I detected this about 2 mos. ago when I spoke to a recuriter. I started a thread call " Schneider won't accept AZ students, got any ideas". I asked them if they would take me on if I lived in Riverside. They said yes if I would agree to drive team.
I hope this helps you out.Last edited: Jul 8, 2008

As I've said innumerable other places, if at all possible, do NOT go to a carrier school. Go to an independent PTDI certified school.
If you can't.. everything I've read says Schneider is the way to go -
And again and again.............oh said that already.......
