    Can some people throw out some names and info on the companies? O/O or company. I'd prefer O/O though. I'm out of Minnesota if that helps.

    Yeah, I can get in there anytime I want, but I am not a fan of their equipment or how they run it. I'd have to get more driver info from them. Just seems like even though I have 4 years of step/flat/rgn, that I'd still start on flat as an O/O and I'm not too sure about it.

    Valley Transportation, Perkins Specialized, Midwest Specialized, Kirscher Transport or Admiral Merchants are a few places to start looking.

    Keen transport out of Carlisle, Pa., hands down the best company I ever drove for. They are the in house carrier for Caterpillar, anywhere Cat has a plant, Keen has a terminal there.

    Man, I forgot all about Valley Trans. Keen seems good, but their fleet seems weak.

    Thanks running man.....I have 2 offers....one from Keen and one from Maverick. Both paying more than I expected since only been in the business for 2 years, but, I'm currently an O/O with my own authority, and I have an excellent CSA, and no tickets or accidents....so maybe I DO deserve it. I live in Decatur Illinois, and am from Peoria, so Caterpillar heaven there. I like the south and east, and Keen seems to spend a lot of time there. I'm leaning toward Keen, and only have about 10 days before my IPR comes due, as does my Drug consortium dues, and quite a few PM issues, so looks like my last 10 days or 2 weeks as an O/O for a while......glad to here Keen is what I thought they were. Thanks..

    PS. I'm going to be a company driver for a while, and see how the other half lives. Be kinda nice to re-leave myself of so much of the stress. I can always buy a truck and go the O/O route...
