    I that why you're so angry?

    Go with Schneider Bulk tankers. You'll make good money and this can lead to some great companies in the future and even those $100K jobs in a couple of years.

    Tanker companies do a heart rate test so prepare for that by doing some cardiovascular exercises such as brisk walking and stair step. No second chances on heart rate test, so start preparing now.

    Thanks for the heads upon the cardio thing, is it like a stress test? I am not to out of shape (round is a shape right) but I don't think I would climb a mountain right now, I know my BP is good. Thanks again, John

    They mainly just want to know that when you're running away from the 40 ton bomb that is about to explode... you can make it at least 100 yards before you stroke out. If you can make 101, you're good to go

    Pick the worst one and you'll never regret quitting in 6 months or less. I suffered Swift for 11 months. It wasn't bad. Dry loads are the easiest and best way to get road experience. Generous areas for backing at deliveries (beats hell outta grocery dc's), more drop n hook, more flexible del times, less equipment to worry about breaking and they were pretty good about hometime. Treat your first job out here as training wheels to start. Unless you're fortunate you'll go through a few before you settle in.

    amen to that some of these grocery warehouses are disasters waiting to happen, not to mention it takes a special kind of dummy to pull an ice box... and yes I just called myself dumb.
    And for the record I'd go with prime, not sure how tanker hometime is but for reefer it's 4 weeks out 3 days home but hands down prime is a good company believe it or not.
