Help 2 Lower 48, No Canada

Hello All,
Ok, here is my question. I am looking for a company that does not drive to Canada. I know that there are some but not sure who. I also would like for them to be a small company if possible. Any help? Thanks.

Swift has a dedicated team that does all their Canada. Their OTR drivers will just drop it somewhere near the border, then the dedicated guys take over from there.

They're definitely not small, though!

Well, my definition of small is a company that will know me as Michael, not as unit #15379. Is that asking too much?

why no canada?

i hear there's some extra $$$ for it.

'less you CAN'T run to canada ... then that's a different story. there are a lot of cos that don't go to canada ... only one's ive seen that have FORCED CANADA DISPATCH are ones that pull drivers out of WA, OR, ID, MT, etc.

good luck!

Check out H.O. Wolding

There fleet size is about 350 trucks and they are a training company.

I've spoken to quite a few of their drivers (10 to be exact) and it seems to a decent outfit.

Hope this helps.

Oh by the way.. You won't find anything about them on these boards if memory serves me right... It's been a while since I've tried to do a search on them. Couldn't find anything substantial.. So I did the next best thing and spoke to any and all of their drivers I could find.
