OTR Co that will let me drive and operate out west?

I would.2nd May trucking. And whoever says don't go to.PNW since you are.new..baloney! U can do it, go for it..I did.U will stay out west with them..I live in Bama too. U will likely be out of the Lebanon TN terminal. I was out of.pcola since I am.in LA lower alabama. They always got me home on time, but I had to move on because of.pay, ..but they are a great place to get experience...and good equipment. Be aware U will spend ALOT of time in Wyoming in the winter.

 

I remember those days, driving a cabover freightliner, it was a lot of fun except for the spring suspension!

 

That and the Air Conditioning wasn't very good and no power steering.
I'm not a member of any Facebook groups, but found this about my first driving job. I left about the time Midwestern bought Leaseway. The drivers were excited because Leaseway trucks had power steering.

In my short time at Midwestern, I almost ran all 48 states, but that was on paper logs.

Very family oriented community.
Gated community 20 minutes drive to the Las Vegas Strip.

 

You could get creative with your paper log(s), those days are long gone!

 

You might check out National Carriers, it’s reefer not flatbed but they have nice equipment and train.

 

Danny Herman is a dry van carrier but their lanes are the best in my opinion, lots of Southwest and no Northeast! Their pay is a little lower than others but it would be a good place to get some experience.
