CFI or Heyl or Paper Transport as my first job...
Scott, Just done that too. I know everyone is busy but hopefully she gets back to me soon. I am wondering which one of these 3 offers best employee benefits. Health insurance one of the most important. There's companies whose HI is useless, everything basically goes on you until you meet either very high deductible or max out of pocket. I have heard Paper Transport health insurance is very bad, known nothing about CFI or Heyl and of course employer won't tell you in advance until you start working for them, so any info is very much appreciated. Thanks.
Anyone please and thanks so much.
Emailing them is best.

Thanks Big Scott. I am big fan of CFI as well. Riding with Dave on YouTube has inspired me. Just completed everything but for some reason recruiter doesn't answer the phone anymore nor she calls me back. I've left two voicemails within the week and still waiting for her to get back to me.
CFI has a yard in Orlando if that's not to far for you. We haul dry van and now have a refer division called CFI Temperature Controlled.
If you change your mind and CFI is currently hiring from your area, come get paid to see the country.
Whatever way you go, be safe and successful.

I am actually fine with constant noise. The fastest way for me to actually fall asleep is by watching TV.

All 3 according to recruiters are actively hiring in my area. I am right on the I-10 corridor. Thanks.
Another big thing for possible employers is your location---Florida. Lots of freight goes in, but not much product is produced down there. If you're south of the I-10 corridor, or south of Tampa/Daytona you may encounter some difficulties being hired.

Dave, I know you have many years of experience with reefers. If I decide to go with Heyl my biggest concern is noise they make. How bad is it in the night when you try to get some sleep?

A CFI update 2021
Great news Scott and congratulations, you are real CFI ambassador, this is not just saying, I know it and you know it. You have helped me in so many situations already, before orientation, during the orientation and when I started solo. It's amazing how much passion you bring in and how you're always available to help out anyone and anytime. Greatest Respect Scott !!!
