    Celadon and JB Hunt have Southeast Regional and I think Arnold Transportation out of Jacksonville have Southeast Regional (or at least they did in the 90s). Averitt Express would be another possible candidate, though you may have to work your way into southeast with them. Like Driver said, Chinatown would be a good one to ask. He will probably respond to your question?

    You limit yourself greatly only wanting to run se. Epes has a lot of freight in and out of sc but you'd have to run east of the Mississippi. Still home every week. Pretty good gig and pay a good premium north of DC. The big bad northeast isn't as bad as most make it out to be with a little planning.

    We do have a southeast regional gig but you have to live within an hour of Atlanta. You give up some on the miles but they only run se. I'm from greenwood so knowing where Aiken is you're kinda close in to there. You might could sneak in there. Couldn't hurt to give then a call and see.

    Werner has Home Depot dedicated in West Columbia and Target in Lugoff. Both are out then back to DC. US Express has Dollar General in Duncan, Target in Lugoff, and Walmart in Pageland?. Both companies put new drivers with minimal experience on these accounts. Epes has some dedicated stuff in SC but might need more experience to get assigned. SuperService has do it right hardware off I 20 exit 51 in SC.

    All four companies hire new grads and will get you back to the DC on a regular basis.
