    I'm an OTR Reefer driver running all 48 states and live Las Vegas. I don't see to many OTR Company
    trucks parked around the neighborhoods or the older residential streets around Las Vegas.

    As most of you are aware we don't have a lot of trucking company choices wheither you are a company driver or a owner operator lease on with a company,due to the fact that Las Vegas is not a major freight route for a lot of trucking companies, nor a large commerce area for factories.

    A few of the Mega companies hire drivers from the Las Vegas area, (Like: Werner, Knight, Swift,and etc.,) But not many midsize or small companies do.

    Questions:

    (1) So what OTR trucking do you drive for or lease too?

    (2) How hard is it for the comany to get you back to Las Vegas or get a load back to Las

    Vegas?

    (3) Often do they get back home?

    Note: Owner Operators & Lease Operators in Las Vegas your welcome to chime in on this question

    too.

    i can't imagine van ffreight being that big a deal in vegas. the people need food and goods. and the population is plenty.

    flatbed freight on the other hand. there's 3 sheetrock companies and 1 roofing company. neither pay good.

    can't say for tankers.

    You must mean Firestone? You get lucky with a good paying load from them.

    Also have GE on the north side and yes USG

    only hauled 2 firestones, with the first company i was with. everything else has been sheetrock. except for 1 load i took a couple months back. and i don't think they ship much at all. they're mostly local businesses
