Are you meaning which company am I going with?
Actually the doctors.
Thank you and I will continue to post as I move along in the process.
I haven’t made a decision on which company yet.
Schneider gave me a conditional job offer running a Southeast Regional last week pending approval with the FMCSA.

Regional Route

Finally made it over the first speed bump in my quest to drive again.
Two doctors and three days of physical therapy and they gave me the all clear. I’m sending my packet to the FMCSA tomorrow for approval.
I’m so excited. Can’t wait for this dream to come true.
