Ok, so the latest update is that I have passed my test a week ago. i have all the endorsements, tankers, hazmat and doubles. I have my twic, no violations or accidents in 15 plus years.
I have been approved for Schnieder bulk and Magnum reefer.
So which one would you suggest and why?
I am located in Southern New Jersey, all the way down.
Thanks in advance and be safe out there.
Which company would you chose and why?

Anything BUT reefer.

Schneider bulk, because you would gain valuable tanker experience that would lead to top paying jobs.
You dont want reefer, long waits at cold storage warehouses and a noisy reefer vibrating the sleeper. -

In a hurry?
Only 2 options. You appear to be good for the important criteria. It is a drivers market. Even for new drivers.
Take some more time and make sure you are happy. It’s in your best interest to stick with that first job at least a year. Really helps -
Go tanker. Anybody can swing a door. But takes skills to fall off a catwalk
tscottme, homeskillet and Texas_hwy_287 Thank this. -
I second anything but reefer.

Linte_Loco Thanks this.

So I was just thankful that these 2 companies would pick me up so I can get my first year in and then move onto something either more local or regional, unless I liked the job then I would probably stay there, provided they treated me right.
Thanks for all of your suggestions, I was leaning more toward the tanker side. I had experience of automating a cement distribution plant in England some years ago. I am an Electrical/mechanical engineer by trade, but the reefers were not an issue as I also have refrigeration qualifications, and a string of letters after my name, but that is another story. -
