if you decide to do it you will have plenty of miles. those are the two places most people don't want to go.

It is really up to you, but if you truly do not feel comfortable with it then I would not do it.

If you work for Schneider, you'll go where they tell you to go. That's how that works.

I looked at many companies ,and...if...I go back OTR I will try Con-way truck load (cfi) ...Now unless sni is your only option or has some super special deal that fits you just right I would look elsewhere

I went to conway termernal in chicago, they don't even open the gate for me, I spoke someone over the phone by the gate, they need double, triple and hazmat, those are i don't have.
beside schneider, which company is good to start?

[Uturn2001]

You could try Roehl. Living where you do you could get home and through the house quite often.

You could also try ABF.

If i apply Roehl, can i ask the recruiter to avoid drive to canada? or i don't have choice, compare to werner and swift which one is the best?

[Double L]

Get a hold of Star Transport based in Morton, IL. Like I said I happen to know someone who drives for them. http://www.startransport.com and their number is 800-548-6082 You'll run some Canada but I don't know how often you will though.

You will drive to Canada with Roehl and be paid extra for it.
No big deal, Canada is easy!
Are you able to go into Canada?
Meaning anything in your past that would not allow you entry?

I am able to drive to Canada.
but the problem is my green card is still in renew I can go homeland security office here in chicago get their stamps on my passport that stamps shows my resdency in the U.S and also good for traveling and working.
since homeland security change their policy the stamps vaild for a year instead of 60days that means I have go back to get new stamps every 60days untill their processing is done.
