I was planning to go to work for a national company but my soon to be wife said location they wanted to send me up north was not reasonable so she wants me to find a company based out of Texas or a nearby by state. Are there many national companies I know of FFE and that's all I know. My biggest problem I can only lift 50lbs I heard FFE requires you to unload your rig if there was a forklift or pallet jack I could do that however if they have me moving individual boxes repetitively may pose an issue with an old injury. Another company based in or near Texas.

I guess the only reservations I have left are 3 I am unskilled at backing a tractor-trailer not getting it down fast enough and being sent home, other would be I hear that you will be flown in to training, and eventually flown away from your rig to home after 3-6 weeks out and on your return you may be going to another rig, third being do they have ac and heat in the sleeper. anyone comments on these.

Okay I have a CDL received it from a company years ago had a horrible trainer got out ended up costing me money to get out now I want back in been thinking more and more I want this over the past 6 months I really want to be an OTR driver for numerous reasons. I have nothing at home to tie me down to it so months out on road would be good I have no real experience driving a tractor-trailer in the form of backing or mountain driving and from Texas so no snow driving experience. I talked to a company named Schneider national they have a refresher program to train inexperienced drivers for 18 days OTR but the cost would be 1,200 my concern it's in Greenbay I live in Texas first thing I think beside cost is that snow country anyone ever been through there program.
