I will pass obtain my CDL A early May. I want to do OTR with the goal of dropping a load each of the 48 states. Then settle to a 4 on/4 off regional. I have completed a career and will be working too many more years until retirement. Any suggestions on companies that will work with me to reach my goal? I respect the referral $.
My Goal, is is doable?

Do self dispatch. Hit them all in four months. Heck, why limit yourself - do Alaska too. I'm working on the Canadian provinces now. You haven't trucked a day until you've spent a night at the Pilot in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.

Why not just drop a load in the first 48 truck stop parking lots you get to? It seems to be what most big company drivers do for kicks so seems to me like about any of the big trucking companies would hire you.

I’m a retired Accountant turned truck driver (wanted to do something interesting for about 10 years until I fully retire).
That’s pretty much what I did. Been in all lower 48 (OTR for about 5 years) & now a local driver. I work M-F, always home by 5:00-5:30, earlier most of the time.
Oh, and if my sources inform me of an inbound Kentuckian, I take the day off and lie in wait.NavigatorWife and Speed_Drums Thank this. -
USA Truck has self dispatch for company drivers and hires new cdl school grads.
Do your planned 48 state runs, then look for a company that has flex work schedule in your area; several of those around.

It's against the rules on here to offer or accept referral money.
