    Look at Keim TS also. Nice studio sleepers and a smaller company.

    On your list, I would change Schneider National to Schneider Bulk.

    I would second something along those lines, try a smaller trucking company, smaller fleet. Most - not all smaller company's tend to treat the drivers better if you can get a choice-and what ever you do try-try to stick a company for at least a year or better, it will look better when you try to jump, and always leave on rehirable terms.

    Here's a good smaller company that hires new CDL grads in Winchester, TN(Chattanooga):

    Transport National - 57 trucks

    My bf started out with Boyd Bros and they've been good to the whole family. He's been home most weekends since he started unless he chose to stay out. He's no longer company but still recommends them.

    I was trying a bit of reverse psychology. Many times a driver is warned about England and they go anyways.
