    Where is a good place online to look for experienced drivers? I have another new truck on order and I need to hire a new driver to haul reefer trailer.

    Really? So you would hire a driver and then pay him to do what? Sit around for 3-4 months waiting for the new truck to come in? Or will he just wait till the truck comes in and be a fill in guy till his ride comes in? Yeah trucks and trailers take 3-4 months to get in and I can drive it till I find the right guy if needed so the order works fine. Looking for somebody that wants to work, not once guy on my crew would wait around and I am not looking for somebody that would.

    Why look on line? Don't you and your crew cross paths with drivers?

    Yes but not reefer guys, this is new to us as we do dump trailer and bulk fuel hauling. One of my guys did do reefer work 10+ years ago but he wants to be home every night and with this contract we have he will not be able to do that.

    Most small outfits advertise on Craigs List if they're looking to hire out of one particular area.
