    Schneider, stayed there for 5 months as a company driver after getting my CDL thru them, bought a truck and was with them as an O/O for another 2 months, left because back then they had forced dispatch on O/O trucks.

    Epes. Been here 3 years now. Did my homework and made a good choice. Good money, good home time, good equipment. No reason to leave unless some dream job falls out of the sky into my lap
