    The ones you named go everywhere. Ask them where they go before you sign up or get on a midwest regional deal....that's the only way to know and in the case they don't have a mind-reader on staff, it helps if they know what you want.

    Not sure how close you need to be but carter express in anderson is not all that bad a co. The miles are there they stay mostly in the midwest. But they do go to texas alot. Should be home couple days a week a week if not most weekends.

    MCT has several fleets in the midwest. Some do their own training too.
