Now that sounds nice to me. I want to try to stay away from truck stops as much as possible. Between the bad food and the lot lizards and the over crowding, Who wants to really be there if they don't have to. Unless they enjoy all that stuff.

It's all good. I suppose a dispatcher really doesn't have to be local. Good to know there's a drop lot here though.

Actually I'm from Tennessee. Not sure what there is around here as far as dispatch. I believe they do have an OC in Lebanon TN. about a half hour from me.

That's all great stuff to know and I really appreciate it. I suppose we could get by without a microwave and could get a 12V fridge. Do the 12V fridges cool pretty well? All in all SNI sounds like a really good company. I have heard a lot of good things. I'm sure EVERY company has bad points and I do know that the first year will be the worst for us but I really want to choose a company that actually cares about their drivers and doesn't just consider them a number. Their safety is what first attracted me to them. I am big on that and it's super important to me. Thank you for the info. I appreciate it a lot.

What I would like to know is if it's a good company to work for. Also can you have an inverter for a fridge and microwave or do they not allow inverters? Also, do they have pretty decent tractors as far as being well maintained?

My son and I just graduated from our truck driving school and got out CDL's. We plan to run as a team. We have pretty much decided that we are going to US Xpress or Schneider. Does anyone have any inout on these 2 companies that may help us in deciding as we would like to start working as soon as possible. Thank you.

Oh and I forgot to ask. Do we get to take the truck home? My family at the time only has one vehicle and my wife will need it for work. And do you have any clue how long we will have to drive with a trainer? At least a rough estimate?
