I’m located in Allentown, PA and have been driving locally for a combined 3yrs. I’m looking to go OTR now and am looking for suggestions. Here’s a few things that’s important to me in choosing a company…
-85k+ a year. I’m on pace currently to make about that much ($30p/h, OT after 40, average about 52-55hrs p/wk). So if I’m going OTR, I sure don’t want to be making less.
-Dry Van/Flatbed. Preferably no touch freight. Drop & Hook would be great but definitely no touch. If it’s flatbed, no tarping.
-Trucks governed no less than 70! This is a must. I’m not a speed demon, but if I need to pass a swift driver, let me do so.
-No NYC.
My record is pretty clean and the only endorsement I have is doubles/triples although I’m open to getting others if I have to. I also have a passport but no Twic card.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated and if anyone has any questions for me, feel free to ask. Thanks in advance!

You might look at Marten Transport:

Barr-Nunn Transportation:

Marten will have a minimum pay guarantee; Barr-Nunn does not (if my math is still correct).
Given the current flabby general freight market -- that minimum pay guarantee might be something to think about.

Both the above are speedsters compared to what I had at Schneider...
