    Does anyone know of a good decent company that runs mid west regional? I am looking for regional because they offer better home time...I am looking to be home 3 out of 4 weekends per month...I know Mcleod offers exactly what I am looking for but there is sooo much negative info about them that it has scared me away...I don't have quite a year of exp yet so I know my options are going to be limited...but any infor would be great...also a little more infor on me I live in IL and have a pretty clean driving record..I do have a speeding ticket in my pov last year but that is it...I am drug free and a hard worker just looking for a place to call home

    Are you including Canada? If so, Con-way Truckload always seemed to need MW regional when I worked there.

    Schneider, Midwest is good for a lot of companies. You can do van/fridge/flatbed/tanker/intermodal from most places in Midwest. Also check out ACT...


    PM if you have questions about either one.

    Right now pretty much every company will have a bunch of freight "overflowing" and looking good but look at those companies a few months down the road or go back and look at what people said last year and how the freight was in the off months... It's not a quick decision if it's the right one, take your time, read and talk to drivers.
