Ok, I'm a newbie (start CDL school in a few days), and I've been surfing / reading/ studying everything I can find about professional trucking.

I'm single, self-content, have plenty of time on my hands, so I am thinking OTR (nation wide) would be a good start for me. Right now, I'm living in metro-Atlanta.

Here's my question.

Right now (November, 2007), knowing what you know now, what 5 - 10 trucking companies would be your top choices for your first application/interview (your first job)?

So far, I'm leaning toward Schneider at a top choice.

Your choices? Comments? Wisdom?
