I own my truck and would like to hear any suggestions for companies to lease on to, not necessarily based out of Georgia, but with a lot of freight around the Atlanta area so I can get home every now and then. I would prefer a company that primarily does drop and hook and has decent paying feight with good dispatchers. I also would like any other suggestions other than Landstar due to the fact that they put elogs in every truck now. It does not have to be a compnay that only runs SE or any particular part of the country, I like the option to go all over if the frieght is good. Thanks for your input.

If you like Flatbed work, I hear a lot of good things from Fike Truck Lines Owner/Operators. I believe they are out of Hope, AR.
Warren Transport http://www.warrentransport.com/ out of Waterloo, IA. goes to Georgia a LOT with good paying John Deere freight.comallard Thanks this. -
Elogs should not be a deciding factor. They can be a pain in the butt/annoyance, but they won't effect your income unless you plan on hauling a lot of cheap freight. Get with a carrier that has good paying freight and then you will never worry about running out of hours again.
comallard Thanks this. -

well op, with that list of what ya got to have, you have backed yourself into a corner , you have severly limited yourself, sounds like you want to haul containers, lol
RedForeman Thanks this. -
You're making assumptions. I have lived here all my life, and know the company, know the Owner/Operators, know John Deere, and know the freight.
See...John Deere isn't necessarily the ones trying to "save a buck"; they pay good....but on the other hand if you or I wanna buy a tractor, we too will pay good.
Perhaps YOU should do your research sir.
P.S.- If a tractor is "road worthy" and can pass a D.O.T. inspection...why buy a new one every 3 or 4 years like the big companies that steal money from their already under-paid drivers to buy them?RAGIN CAJUN Thanks this. -
