    Thanks for the recommendations Challenger. I have a call into Roehl and spoke with someone from System Transport. Will fill out an application for them and get it in after talking more tomorrow. Looks like Watkins Sheppard is not hiring in my area. Thanks again.

    Consider Werner and Swift and Roehl flatbed divisions.

    That company has a good website to check. It says experience required, but those rules aren't carved in stone.

    Hey there Noggin. Yeah, I spoke with three different recruiters at Melton and they told me their hiring area is 100 miles from phoenix, and that my address was not within. They did make an exception for me, so I'm looking into them. If one was in the Northern part of Tucson -e.g. Oro Valley- they would make the hiring zone.

    Melton does look really good, but I'm a bit concerned about getting enough miles. I've been keeping up with one of the Melton drivers thread and he seems very happy with everything but the miles.

    I applied with Melton; the recruiter who called me said " HQed in Oklahoma, operate primarily east of I-35". I have family support issues(mom/stroke), and need to be somewhat availible.
