This might be a stupid question. Do you have to drive at night? I am a morning person and dont think I would function well if I had to that often

Rick

Thanks for all the help guys. I believe Knight is based out of KC too. Looks like I have more options than I realized. I thought it would be a neat experience to do over the road for a few months or so but then I would want to get home at least every weekend if possible.

Rick

Thx guys. Just doing research on companies at this point. I am not asking which is the “best” company. I was asking which one might have weekly home time in the KC area.

I plan on doing company paid training

Rick

Forgot to mention, I am in the Kansas City area.

I have been doing a lot of research on a lot of different aspects of each company. Some have better insurance, some pay for you to get trained and some dont etc. Went to a truckstop nearby yest. And talked to a few drivers.

One thing that does seem hard to find out is which are more OTR and which have more regional/dedicated routes?

One prime driver I talked to said he doesnt get home often with prime but he did with Schneider but he thinks Prime is better. Does anyone have any insight on this aspect?

My wife and I are very close but I would prefer to go with a company that has a better chance of getting me home weekly, etc vs. OTR

Thanks!

That was very helpful. Wish all the companies did it that way lol.

Thanks!

Rick

That’s is a great idea. It almost seems like they try to keep you from finding out.

I will check into CFI as well

Thanks!

Rick

Lol. I have been trying to do research but it seems like I might be better waiting a couple months till I am ready to apply and then get all the info. I did find out my wife can get her own insurance and it is pretty good. She needs it more than I do so I could get something cheap, etc

Rick

Sorry for the double answer lol

Rick

I need good insurance for my wife and I and good prescription coverage

I know I probably won’t get it as good as I have it now but it still needs to be good
