    I live in the Indianapolis area and I'm about to get off of OTR and try something regional I've been looking around and most places I've seen either don't have enough miles or penalize you if you run longer miles on the sliding pay scale system I would like to average 2800+ miles a week and still get home on weekends does anyone have any suggestions on a good dry van or reffer company to work for in the Indianapolis area ,Thanks

    Call Fraley and Schilling in Rushville, IN and ask them about working regional. Living in Indy should make it pretty easy for them to get you home. They have both dry van and flatbeds, but its mostly flatbed out in your area. The van division mostly runs out of Brilliant, OH.

    Oh, Fraley and Schilling also has dry bulk tanker, too. Ask about that, too. Completely forgot about those.
