While CFI is not a "smaller local company" by any means....they are not a mega-carrier either. You might want to do a search here in this site using Skywalker and CFI as the searchwords. You do live in the hiring area, and you could do far worse than CFI.... in fact in my opinion all of the companies that you named....uh-uh, nope wouldn't go there.
If you are interested in more information regarding CFI, you can contact Christine at 1-800-641-4748, extension 5718....tell her Skywalker sent you. (Nope, nothing in it for me...just say HI! to her for me) and you can log on at
http://www.cfidrivers.com and get more information and ask questions of the experienced drivers there as well as the students and others regarding their experiences with CFI. I drove for them for over 7 years until I was recently caused to have to change my employment due to personal family issues. Otherwise I would still be there.
