Help need to know the good and the bad

How much experience do you have and do you have endorsements?

 

over a year of experience and you have PTL as one of your top3?

 

OK, lots of experience. Of those 3 ; would choose Tradewinds. I looked at the website and they have flatbed, van plus shorthaul and 48 state runs. Lots of Northeast also.
If you don't want Northeast, look at Danny Herman Trucking and South-East Carriers, both dry van. They don't run Northeast, but do run west coast.

Are you familiar with SouthernAg Carriers in Albany,GA?
Indian River Transport - food grade tanker & no hazmat needed
A&R Logistics - dry bulk tanker - no hazmat needed ($62K - $72K per year)
Bulkmatic - dry bulk tanker - no hazmat needed
Tribe Transport - reefer outfit in GA

Back to your original question, as an experienced driver I'd pick Tradewinds. I often recommend Navajo to new drivers right out of school because it's a pretty good reefer outfit for new cdl grads.

If you can put your tanker endorsement to work for you, there's good paychecks there even without hazmat. Tanker work is easy money.

 

not going to treat you like a dumb anything. just figured if your posting on here, then you should've seen on how bad PTL can be for starting drivers and the way drivers treated. if you're wanting to do flatbed, then apply to flatbed companies like mcelroy, maverick, Boyd brothers, Montgomery transport. since you already have driving experience builders transportation would take you.

 

TMC has good paychecks and decent home time.

 

Good; check out those tanker outfits for sure.
