Do any companies fit these 3 criteria...?

Hazmat tanker companies.

 

Could try Union LTL. Don't count on pretty equipment though...

 

At Lessors I usually get over $1000 a week, new trucks, new trailers and on e-logs. Our Maintenance score on CSA is 10%. APU and inverter on every truck.

 

There's a ton of them. I have far stricter criteria than that though. The key to success in this business when your seeking employment is a tight screening program. Since i quit my job 3 weeks ago over 6 companies have offered me a position and asked me when i could start with them. I turned every single one down as they did not meet my Criteria in one way or another.

These are the MINIMUM questions i ask any potential employer usually prefaced and followed by intensive research.

Driving jobs are a dime a dozen. If they have Red Flags popping out after just that short list of questions chances are they're hiding much worse things that you're likely to learn the hard way if you don't heed those red flags.

 

1. I want 75 cpm
2. I want $45 per hour detention pay after first hour
3. I want free health insurance
4. I want a decked out pete with all the bells and whistles

However, at times I have had to settle for less!

 

Melton truck lines would meet that, with 10 years, if you got at least 5 of those OTR, you'd start at .43-.45 CPM , not hard to get 2500 in a week

 

I met all three of those requirements after my first six months of experience with a dedicated JB Hunt route.

But I got to admit it is a lot of work, both driving and physical.

 

Van Wyk out of Sheldon, IA. Yes to all 3 things that OP asked including profit sharing and 6 month bonus checks.

Top notch equipment except for some emission gremlins in those newer rigs
