    Why are they your only 2 choices?
    Personally, I would choose Schneider tanker division.
    Where is your location; city/state?

    Good for you Coolaid! I have another 2 weeks left of school. Do you have any endorsements yet? Where are you from?

    Ive heard good and bad about both ( as most companies ). I know that stevens has an extensive training program which could be a good or bad thing depending on your situation. Schneider is the same way, Ive read good reviews and bad. I know they have dedicated routes and regional which I think Stevens does not.

    Schneider also has these Idle indicator devices that automatically shuts the trucks off after so much time...Im sure someone with experience can talk more about it.

    Best thing you can do is read as many new reviews as possible...just google each company.

    I'm in Houston. Those are the ones that caught my attention. I've researched other companies n for being new the two have my attention. Any recommendations?

    Here's some more to consider:

    SVTN
    Superior Carriers
    CTL
    JBS Carriers
    System Transport
    Melton Truck Lines

    All companies listed hire new CDL graduates.

    If you don't have your endorsements, go get'm, they cost little money in comparison to the extra you will bring home. Same with TWIC and your passport.
