    I appreciate it. I'll give them a look. Let's just hope they aren't a bunch of zip-code commissars.

    *UPDATE*
    Just looked at them and they seem good. I submitted an application and will call them on Monday. (Yep, they wanted my zip. Freakin' Bolsheviks) :rolleyes::D

    There's a couple that have weekends home. I'll find them and post.

    They're one of three I'm looking at right now, including TMC, as well as Decker that @lual recommended. I really appreciate it.

    I looked at their site. They require 2 years of flatbed experience and the hometime is "most" weekends. Much appreciated.

    Try anyway. The website also shows AWL has their own cdl school.
    Also has some dry vans.

    They say "most" weekends, which is an immediate disqualifier. Most can be as little as 50.01% of the time. My primary reason for looking at flatbed is home weekly, with staying in region and running days tied for second. Thanks, though.

    If you are in the midwest - easy ... I rarely not home on weekends, maybe 4-5times in 5 years

    McElroy is probably your best bet if you want guaranteed home time. Maverick & TMC are both not guaranteed weekends home.

    Appreciate it. I ruled at Maverick immediately for that reason. The TMC position I'm looking at says regional - home weekly, but I'll be sure to check out the fineprint, so to speak. If I see OTR or any kind of qualifier related to the hometime, I pass on it. I have zero interest in flatbed beyond home weekly/regional.
