    Got my CDL got over 5 months of OTR experience before I got dropped by Schneider( (violated a safety policy because I got caught backing up on a main road)..I haven’t been in a truck for two years and three months now since the day I was fired...so far I’ve gotten a yes from Swift and Transport America. I’m looking for a company with a terminal near Atlanta. I want to run DRY VAN SOLO OTR for at least two years.. also while out of the truck I kept my license and medical card up to date and have no major driving violations on my record just one speeding ticket in my personal vehicle (10mphover)..

    I should have been more specific looking for recommendations in companies but it’s sounding like Swift be the better option out of these two

    Swift will let you drive the tractor home if you have a place to park it. At least they did a couple of years ago.
