| newbie question I read several posts.My question is how do you know what companies have operations in the geographical part of the country where you live or want to work. I went to NC trucking association website and there were only several webpage links to companies in NC. Is there another place to lookup this information? I also went to a specific company website for inexperienced drivers. They had a list of what appeared to be physical exercises? Do you have to pass more than just a DOT physical? Can you tell me how much physical work is required. I know about lumpers--what about the fifth wheel etc. I want to learn all I can before making a decision. Thanks to all the experienced drivers who take the time to post. Your vision of reality benefits the inexperienced. |

| pay attention to who you see on the road rgularily where you live. In NC it won't be hard to find a co. Alot of furniture out there to be hauled |

| You could look in your newspaper and then look up the company on line, or ask here about a certain company. They may not be in your state, but are hiring drivers in your state, my husband drives for Smith out of PA., but we live in Ohio. |

| If by via China, yeah we ship out alot. This area has been hit extremely hard with furniture. So many textile and furniture places have closed around here. Now the big push is biotech fields. There is a Schneider OC in Charlotte, Maverick has two small terminals. |

| Maverick is a good company from all I have heard. Flatbed only though. Just a few years back I drove for Omega and I hauled ALLOT of furniture out of the carolinas. Alot may have closed but there is still allot there. |
