    We are looking for a company that runs east to west with produce preferably being backhauled to the east coast. Worked for a company that was setup like this but they started losing customers so we had to find work elsewhere. Currently pulling doubles on a dedicated lane but would love to get back to produce and cross country running. Any info would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    Freymiller just bought out bankrupt Buel Inc. and now has those Southeast to Pacific Northwest turnaround accounts. Maybe get on one of those as a dedicated run.

    There's several of those type companies in the Carolinas if you live in the hiring area. Put your location on your profile. Check with Quest Global and see what they have.

    east-west out of temple,ga. i think it is. if i recall correctly,their trucks run at least 70. whew. imagine coast to coast in a 62 mph truck running teams. there is an outfit out of west virginia that runs bigger trucks(internationals) and pull reefers,that advertise west virginia on their trucks.the name i can not recall although i see the trucks often.
    best of luck.

    Here's some info on Cedar Creek Trucking.

    The most valuable resource to any trucking company are Drivers. Our trucks are specified with the driver in mind. All units are condo sleepers with built in refrigerators. All equipment is washed weekly as it hits the yard. Our oldest truck as of June '13 is 6 months old. We have one of the newest fleets in North Georgia. Cedar Creek is a truckload carrier that provides exceptional service from the Southeast to the West and Northwest. We run '53 temperature controlled trailers with dry freight out of the Southeast and refrigerated produce back from California, Oregon, Washington, and other states depending on season.

    Great info! We will check them out. We live right in the middle of Virginia and Maryland. We are West Virginia but once we say West Virginia, the leads dry up. We are willing to relocate if necessary. Live right off of I-81. Close to major highways.

    Since you're willing to relocate, check these companies:

    WLA Inc.
    Cooke Trucking Co.
    Hardy Bros. Inc.
    Inman Trucking Co.
    Quest Global
    Abilene Motor Express
    Cedar Creek Trucking
    East-West Express

    Already mentioned a couple of these. Not sure you'll have to relocate for all of them.

    relocating opens things up.

    story trucking in henager,al. is a major player yet low key and family owned.all you want coast to coast reefer. fairly certain that they run trucks that will at least run the speed limit.good people at storey. kennesaw transportation,white,ga. location i think, runs coast to coast teams.nice euipment and 70 mph last i read. purdy brothers is another team deal i think even though i see many singles out there pulling curtain sides.

    research trucking companies out of dalton.shootloads that run carpet west/produce east.may involve a little digging.
