    I'm currently working but would like to see other opportunities.
    I'm in Tooele UT.
    A year and a half recent experience. I was out for awhile and came back to trucking. Over ten years total experience.
    Clean DMV.
    No tickets.
    No accidents.
    No drug or alcohol issues.
    All endorsements except passenger.
    No current TWIC but I've had it in the past.

    What I'm looking for.
    $100k+ .....If I stay at my current employer I'll be at $90k - $120k so I don't want to go backwards in pay.
    Home weekly or daily would be better, but I can make weekly work.

    What says TTR? Where should I hang my hat?

    Seems you have an excellent job now. I don't know where you can top that.

    Unfortunately it's a place I'm seriously thinking of quitting. Just not that happy here.

    If I drop into the $80k range there is home daily dirt hauling work I can get into but I want to save for a home so I need to make more money.

    Thanks for the suggestion but I worked for Beneto in CA and KAG bought them out. It wasn't a good experience.
    Fuel in general might not be a bad idea. I enjoyed it back in the day. Do you know what's a good company in UT other than KAG. Everything in their ad looks awesome except for the KAG part.

    Not so long ago, I spoke with an owner-op who was working with KAG.

    He seemed genuinely satisfied.

    In another post, you said something about...."different locations, different personalities"....

    With that in mind--just becuz you had a bad experience in CA--does that automatically mean that KAG over in NV will suck?

    My last 3 dating experiences did not go well....so does that mean I should throw in the towel on all other women? o_O

    Who knows....your (next?) terminal mgr with KAG could actually be a cool guy. :eek:

    Nonetheless....I will keep looking, & will post here later, when I find something......

    Also: be careful with that LTL sector.....LTL drivers are being furloughed/laid off, elsewhere.

    You have a good point.
    I could walk into the interview with a Kenneth advantage group 5 year safety jacket and belt buckle. That may help:). also I never contaminated a station or wrong station delivery.
    And it'd be more money too.
    Thanks.

    At that pay rate, a M-F gig....and NO slip seating--plus full benefits?

    If it were me--I'd look into further--if for just the above.....:eek:
