18 months in, what are some left coast options?

Im sure chinatown will be busting out the links soon, but theres alot of companies that require minimum 1 year now. With 18 month 100% clean you might just take a shot with somewhere looking for 2 years, doesnt hurt to try.

 

How much time do you want to spend with your new bride?

 

Oak Harbor linehaul is a good job for a newly married man.

I had this dedicated run for nine months. Was a really good gig.

You train in L.A. for a month learning how to load and offload a DOT 407 tank.
Once finished training there, you won't need to go back.

Your job is to pick up a non HazMat resin from Hexion in Springfield, Oregon and deliver it to GAF in Shafter, California.

The resin is viscous. It is the sticky stuff in roof shingles. Hexion also makes a red resin that is the base glue in laminated wood.

Sherman Brothers/Team Transport is the competitor company which hauls the same resin to GAF. They also haul formaldehyde to Hexion which is used to create the resin.

A severe drawback to this job is that you may required to load out of Dow Chemical in Hayward, CA and deliver to Rodda Paint in Portland. I hate driving in the Bay Area due to its traffic. Those Portland idiots aren't much better.

Dow Chemical also ships acranal to Sherwin-Williams in Fernley, Nevada.

Reefer, try Van Eerden out of Michigan. Home every 7-10, a lot of drop and hook which is pretty rare in the reefer world. They claim to average $94k/year. Top earners over $100k. Clean equipment for both companies.
