Thanks Surfer Joe ! I think that will be my goal. Wish AZ had some good smaller companies. Seems like the mid west or east coast is the areas to be in

Ok guys, after talking to many companies (with a grain of salt). Looks like I most likely going with Knight Refrig. planning on training in Aug. in the heat of Phoenix

One good thing about Reefer is that you can haul Dryvan freight to if needed to get you out of a bad area. When I drove for Knight back in 04-06 I saw quite a few Reefer guys at my pick ups. If you haven't committed to Knight, Schneider opened a Phoenix terminal this year. I would trust their training over Knights, no offense. They don't train you for your CDL though. You would have to get that on your own and they would reimburse you after/if you were hired. Just something to consider. The Schneider thread here is pretty active and the majority of it is positive. Not too bad for a mega carrier lol

I've been working too hard lately.
Here's my last few load lengths - 2100 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles, 1000 miles, been bumping against my 70 for the last couple of days. Then the upside down triangle goes off on my dash. Now i'm sitting till tomorrow to get a forced regen followed by who knows what else. -

Well I ALMOST leased the truck I was driving. Glad the day before I did it had an electrical meltdown. Half the interior lights went out and over the last week one 12v outlet after another have burned out. Now I have one working 12v left so I have to choose between letting the food in my cooler spoil and sleeping(I use a cpap machine). Needless to say I've soured to leasing this truck or any truck from Knight. I won't up and quit and they have a gaggle of new trucks in the yard. Tomorrow I'll angle for one of those trucks.
I've begun applying elsewhere, first two questions asked from now on, "Do All of your trucks have an APU and a fridge?" If I here no to either the only thing they will here is "click". If I go someplace to lease it will have to be $1 buyout and I better hear 5year/500,000 mile warranty too.
App to JCT already sent, Lessors up next. -
