    Well I reached a years experience. Looking for a company that can get me home weekly, decent pay, and affordable family insurance.

    I'm located in Enid OK. I have pulled a reefer and flat. I would prefer no touch freight but will do whatever I need to to meet the above needs. I had a roll over 4 months into my experience 18 months ago and 8 months safe after the accident. I was not cited so it's not on my mvr but it is on my dac. I also have all my endorsements.

    I am currently with a decent paying flatbed company but I can't afford $900 a month for family insurance. If I have to I could stick it out a year but would prefer to find a better company for long term.

    What companies do you know of that might take me?

    No need for Chinatowns list. I already have it saved lol. Looking to move above that if possible.

    wow $900 a month in insurance

    You're what? 90 miles from OKC?
    I'd look for an LTL company around there. Some union ones pay for family health insurance like ABF last time I checked.
     
    Chewy352 Thanks this.

    We have a fed ex yard in enid. I'm applying for all the local gigs I can. Pepsi and coke don't pay well in that are $12 to 13 an hour. I've got an interview with a beer distributor whenever I get in town.

    Union LTL companies pay $70k+ per year with great benefits

    Others like Old Dominion don't have the union benefits but pay is very high.
