    Maybe check with some Machinery Movers/Specialized Haulers in the part of Tx. you live in. You should be well qualified in that area I wouldn't settle for you the "typical high turnover begging for truck driver companies". (JMHO)

    I was just at Forthworth this morning at the J, left around 9PM.
    Was USA still trying to get that spot on the front row? Saw him pull up 19 counted times. I would've helped, but I had to motor. Ran out of hours 67 miles from the drop... what luck.

    I have heard good things about Lone Star Transportation, and they are near you. There is a good thread here you can research.

    Well been talking to JK Hackl they are running all my info. Good news is Dobermans are allowed so my girl can join me. Inverters are allowed but they would like to install it for me which is great cause I've never done that before and they will make it look professional. And the gal sent me the 90 day pay scale I can share it here if anybody is interested.
