I was pretty burned out from it, and glad to try something different.

What kind of trucking do you want to do?

Seems living in CT and wanting to run regional, Schneider might be a good fit for you, after all.

Best of luck! :thumbsup:
That's what I did, and I ended up loving it.
I worked over the years for several O/O's, all 2nd or 3rd generation family business.
Always had top of the line equipment you could be real proud of, and enjoyed the folks I worked with.
I made top pay too,... better than if I started with a National Co.

I'm just sayin', either way you get a start is good, because in the end it's all about what you make of it.
You learn, gain experience, and after a year or two, you can go drive anywhere you want.

I went from reefer to flatbed. If I could start over again,... I'd skip the reefer work. :lol:
