Who should I choose?

Have you checked out prime? They have tankers and do train, but Tanker is only in certain areas. Don't know where.

There are other Tanker starters but I don't rember them all.

Schnider school in gary,in. Looks like you have to live in the chicago/gary area.


Unless you are a veteranhttp://schneiderjobs.com/search-driving-opportunities/details/152653

 

They do offer tuition reembursment if you go to a private school

 

Search schneider job, and see if they have intermodal in your area. It's a regional thing so home every week. I was getting min. 2000 miles to 2500 a week.

 

I havent read where SRT has a problem with shortage of trainers. Since tankers is the goal, I'd jump on SRT to get the year in, then move to tankers. It's not an ideal situation, but it's a pathway to tankers in Louisana 12 month later.
Texarkana is closer to your home and the weather is better than Chicago area at Henderson this time of year.

 

You know how their regional van is? Is regional hometime only for a reset?

Kinda sorta thought about doing regional tanker with them also, but I am 100 miles away from their terminal in Chattanooga so I didn't think it would be worth it for me unless it would really help getting a local fuel job or something.

 

You could check out averitt or one of the ComCar family companies, both run mainly the southeast, home every week, automatics, and pretty good pay. the only thing I cant be sure is the miles.
