    I have 2 1/2 weeks left on my 8 month contract at CRST, I want to find a solo regional job. I have 8 months experience, I live in Las Vegas, NV, never had a ticket or accident, clean background. I have talked to Gordon and KKW.

    Gordon was just purchased by Heartland Express; might be ok.

    Check Careerbuilder and Indeed websites for regional jobs.
    Also, check these:

    Pan Western(Las Vegas based)
    System Transport (Phoenix Regional Division operates in AZ, CA, NM, NV, TX, CO and UT)
    Watkins & Shepard(terminal in Las Vegas)

    Several others; maybe some other drivers will add to the list.

    Did you like CRST at all? My boyfriend is currently there on an 8 month contract, and hes done almost 4 months already. He had to take some advancements out and they take it all out when he gets his pay, but he believes theyre adding more than what he really owes. Their trucks have problems quite alot he said. How was the experience for you?
