Can anyone recommend a good smaller sized OTR carrier in the northwest? I currently live in Boise, but I'm looking to be OTR for long stretches, as housing here is absolutely insane. I'm single with no pets or kids, so paying rent for a place when you're never there just doesn't make sense. I have over 12 years experience with commercial driving, including modified flatbed for gas cylinders (hazmat), food grade (baffle-less) tankers, pneumatic tankers, doubles, and dry van.
As I said, I want to work for a smaller carrier, and ideally I'd like to do hazmat tanker. Refer or dry van would be fine as well, or possibly low boy equipment hauling. Not interested in tarped flat-bed loads.
I'm not concerned about having riders or pets. I'd prefer driving manuals, but of course that's often not an option these days. Driving facing cameras are, of course, also not preferred but not necessarily a non-starter, so long as the carrier is reasonable with them.
Thanks in advance!

Take a look at Ag needs or King farms in northern Utah (Logan and Tremonton) Im not sure but look like smaller companies hauling box and reefers. I know I've seen them running Idaho a lot and have pretty good looking setups
Chinatown Thanks this. -
