    I know Chinatown isn't a fan of my company, but we have a run dedicated out of Veedersburg Indiana to Canton Miss hauling auto parts. If you have a year experience you start out at .40 Cpm, home every other day, and it pays 635 miles I think. Drop and hook both ends, and bonuses. It would pay $1464 a week on three runs, and our guys who run three a week typically make $4-500 a month in bonuses for simply doing their paperwork and getting good fuel mileage. Assigned trucks, 2016 and 17 petes and cascadias. Benefits are ok, no retirement, and typically off for about a month a year during plant maintenance and shutdowns. For$1500-1600 a week, it doesn't get much easier. PM me if you need any more info.

    Yes, tank endorsement; forgot about that one. Need that for those large plastic totes full of liquids that are transported in dry van trailers.

    Hogan said you need 1 year , I think that's what they said when I called.
    I might check again.
    And Lafayette is about an hour from Kokomo too.

    Shogun does your company hire students right out of school ? Veedersburg is 1hr 40 min 83mile from me here in Kokomo.
    Shelbyville is 1hr 22 min nd79 mile but its on the way.
    Veedersburg would be driving east for almost 1.5 hours

    Do you know where they go in Tennessee from Shelbyville ?
    Can you tell me what company you work for ?

    Carter Express is in Anderson and it is 1hr 5 min from Kokomo , 49 mile

    I went to Sage school 2 years ago and they have a connection with Carter so I went to talk with them and sounds like I could get on with them but not sure about home daily and would still have the long commute.
    I heard they don't let you take the truck home.

    @dennisroc - I think you should be a sprint car driver. There's a dirt track right in your town. Best part: no winter driving!

    I was at Eldora this weekend wishing I was a sprint car driver. I've never been to Kokomo Speedway, but it's on my bucket list!
