Bloomington Indiana looking for a job

I live in Bloomington, Indiana and I am looking for a good company to get with. When I say good I want nice tractor, Kenworth, Pete, or a International that has lots of room. Lots of miles and good pay 37cents a mile or above with good benefits. Anybody know of any company's around that offer this all. I have heavy haul experience, reefer, trash hauling, and doubles. I have done 14 route stops in a 48foot reefer trailer with out any problems. I have pulled 140000 lbs out of NC to Ind on a RG trailer many times and every where else across america. I have pulled trash in a 53 foot tipper trailer that usaully gross weighed 90-95000 lbs with out a jake brake, all this with no accidents or problems. Anybody know of a company that offers all of this that needs a good driver let me know I am looking and I want to find a company that I can stay with. I have had a couple of job offers, but I am being picky this time I am tired of changing jobs. Any suggestions

You live in Bloomington??? I live just South of Bryan Park! In fact, I'm chewing on a Dagwoods Sub as I type this.

Anyway, I'm trying to get my CDL, and am thinking about going to a school in Indy. They train for PAM and USA Truck.

Do you know much about either? I haven't heard anything bad about either...and think it might be the best way to get my foot in the door. It's a 1 year contract, but if they are willing to pay for the school and treat me right...it could be a great opportunity.

Any advice? How did you get your CDL?

Hi there, I see you are a picky person that was looking for a good company, did you find one that you feel you will be able to stay with? Going to PTL tomorrow for orientation, as always I have to pay my dues. I will do so, but will also be looking for a company that will give me what your looking for, or have found as well. Your input is appreciated, thanks!
Semperfi,
Just Bob

I think I might of found it

I start at Wabash Valley Transportation in two weeks. The pay is good and the hometime is good and I have been told the benefits are good. I will keep you posted about the progress of my employment and the company as soon as I start. All I have heard about this company is good things.

Oh no Logsrus, been there done that and I personally do not suggest them. would be hard to get 37 cents from them unless he opts for the per dem. (don't suggest that neither.)

I see everything you have done but I don't see where you say how long you have been driving.

If you haven't found a company I know a small one that will get you what you want but they have Freightliner Columbia's

Celedon

Hello,
Thinks for the advice on Celedon, but I have a cousin that drove for them for awhile and he said it was a nightmare. He never got his hometime like they promised him, and they were always screwing up his pay. He said he would never work for them again. I need to get home through the week and weekends and need to make good money and there are a couple of drivers that I have talked to and they seem to be doing good with WVT right now, so that's were I am going. Keep you all posted on how it goes, be safe.
