    Well it looks like I will have to go back to company driver to get flat experience. So what company is good for an experienced van puller? I have not been on the road for nearly 6 years. Think I can get on somewhere, or should I just find a different career?:biggrin_25511:

    I live in Panama city, Fl and it's hard to find companies that come through here, but I have seen several Marten, US Express, and some other ones that I have never really heard of, thinking they are small companies and thats why I haven't heard of them. There is a company here that is called Mckenzie Tank Lines, not sure where their other terminals are located, but if you are someone that likes to run and run hard they are definitely a company I would look into. You have to have your Hazmat of course. They have pretty good trucks, the only problem we had was they kind of expected my old man to go from one side of the country to the other within a shorter amount of time than he is driving time would allow, but that was just his own personal issue. They pay pretty well too.
