Looking for a new carrier

I currently work for Star Transport out of Morton, Illinois. I have been with them just shy of a year and a half.

I won't go into a long rant or hate fest about my current employer, but I am seeking another carrier to drive for.

I have a wife and a 2 year old son so staying out 4 weeks at a time is no longer an option, especially with low pay.

So with that said, I am in the Nashville area, just a hair under a 1.5yr exp. Looking for more time with the family and would like someone who doesn't expect me to freeze to death in the winter and burn to death in the summer. These are my only 2 things I care about.

I'll run hard, I'll run legal, or make it look very legal. I will do what I need to do to provide for my family and for a company.

I do apparently have 1 preventable that Star has me listed for (tagged a sign) but its not on my DAC or MVR, both are clear as a bell.

I would welcome any advice anyone can provide, and would like to offer my thanks in advance.

 

Thanks for the info, I actually interviewed with Averitt but since i have a preventable on record with them, even tho its not on my MVR or DAC, they pretty much said no.

I am expecting a callback tomorrow from LCT out of Florida, may just work hard it there and hang in there to get more experience until I can get home sometime to get my hazmat and doubles/triples.

A lot of local companies hiring doubles/triples, but I don't know that my wife could stand me being home that much.

 

I got a call from Transport America, decided to give them a try. We'll see how it goes. I've read all the comments here and other places but I am going to go into with a positive attitude and try to make the best of it.

Orientation monday in Grove City, OH.
