    Hello I currently have been off the road for the last 2 months, would like to get back on the road with a good company. I currently have 11 months OTR experience, are there any companies that could get me home weekly or every 10-12 days with decent pay and equipment. I live in west central Georgia

    Check out a company called Averitt. I only know about them because they sent a recruiter to my CDL school. Local or regional, clean fancy terminals everywhere, dress code with company polo shirts, and lots of home time.
     
    Gonzo93 Thanks this.

    Thanks for the info, i wouldnt mind being OTR if the pay was good with decent trucks/equipment, I'm about 100 miles south of Atlanta in Columbus. Averitt has a terminal around 45 minites away but you can't bring truck home, i like to run hard was thinking about pullong reefers for longer length of hauls, but im the only income in the household and 600-750$ checks will not work forme.

    Some companies have a guaranteed minimum weekly paycheck; usually from $900 starting out, then around $1200 after a few months. You can make more, but not less, if you follow the rules.
    West Side Transport
    K&B Transportation
    and a few others, but don't know their names.

    Freymiller is one of the better refrigerated companies. @Ssand Man can fill you in on the weekly pay to expect.
    Magnum Ltd. drivers say they make $1000 - $1500 weekly.
    I'd check with Fastenal and find out what kind of paychecks they're getting.
