Profile For Kayle

Hi, my name is Kayle(Ka-yle). I just so happened to stumble accross these forums a couple of hours ago and spent some time looking around.

I'm 21 and spent a couple of years in the Marine Corps out on Pendleton in the 62 area San Mateo as a riflemen before being seperated medically.

I orginally moved to Jacksonville, FL but the job economy isn't that great in Florida.(No surprise since it's a state full of college kids and retired folks.) I then moved out to north Phoenix and worked construction and then moved into security at the childrens hosptial here before finally landing where I am currently in school.

I'm currently going through schooling and I actually contracted through Schneider because I couldn't afford to shovel 4k out of pocket right now. I managed to pass Combos, Air Brakes, and General Knowledge this morning and got my permit. I'm still 3 weeks of schooling out from graduation and hopefully passing my road test to get my CDL.

Anyway, my question is I'm considering jumping ship and moving over to Melton since my schooling is now paid for and paying Schneider back.

There's multiple reasons why; higher starting pay, better equipment, and from what i've been told everybody loves Melton where as you hear a few horror stories from Scheneider here and there. The biggest reason though, is because I want a challenge and i'm actually slightly concerned about my weight.

Since I got out in August of last year, I have managed to put on a cool 40 pounds. I went from hovering between 185 - 190 pounds to 220 - 225 and i'm only 5'7". I'm actually slightly concerned that if I hop into a dry van or refeer, I'll put on even more weight. So I'm hoping that the work flat bedding is helps me cut the calories down.

So with all of this in mind, should I stick it out with Schneider or if I feel like I'll be a better fit and I'll be happier with Melton contact a recruiter?
