Well as for your options as a new driver I dont know you so I can only speak for myself. I would not make it being gone weeks at a time. I need to make more than 600 gross per week. That being said I would choose TMC or Maverick so that I can get home every weekend and still make 45-55k a year. My ultimate goal after getting experience would be a good local job, which I have. I do kind of miss the road but I belong at home with my wife. And yes you will need to spend time with a trainer. BTW, how's the weather up there, has Hell frozen over yet? :lol:

As for your choices, well, that's up to you. But don't let the school limit you to just those. There are many other companies out there that will hire you on with just the schooling and no experience. Also, don't ever fall into the idiotic trap of just looking at cpm. There is so much more than cpm. I believe I posted on this once before.
