    I have 2yrs Of experience and based in Springfield MO. Curious if anyone knows of a company that will keep me on the western side of the Mississippi? I prefer driving in those states as I absolutely hate the east coast and south east.
    Thank you.

    Western Dairy Transport -- Careers

    Expect most loads to be in Texas, Utah, Idaho....or somewhere in between.

    They have a terminal/facility in Cabool, Missouri.

    Tanker endorsement required--but I think you could get by there without hazmat.

    One driver on here works for Swift Refrigerated and posted he asked to stay West and the dispatcher has done that.

    I'd try Legends Transportation. I've been seeing their trucks in Missouri lately. Just the other day I saw one here in Memphis. The bulk of their runs would be 11 western states. Being in Springfield, MO, you'd probably have to explore the big megas to get on to one of their dedicated accounts. I can imagine it being difficult to find that because of where you stay. I'd also try any company based in Oklahoma, like maybe Western Flyer Express or something else out of OKC.

    I called them yesterday actually, they told me they are more than willing to hire me, but they wouldn’t be able to get me home. Their closest drop yard is in Dallas TX. So if I wanted to go home I’d have to take the greyhound to Springfield :(
