    I'd call a recruiter. You don't have to give any information to ask questions.

    Oh ok Averitt is not all drop and hook but it is no touch freight. You are home every weekend unless you choose to stay out. For the most part we run 35ish states. Unless you go flatbed or have a desire to "work" the most you will do is set landing gear and tandems and occasionally put in load locks or cargo straps. Now if it's a reciever that has lumpers you can get paid to unload it buuuutt I would never. There is a reason several lumpers are their just get the to sign W-9's first then give the one over them a ecom check that was issued for a set price.

    Any question just inbox me and I should be able to answer any question you may have.

    No it is not all 48 they run a 21 state area now (i think...there may be a couple more) no northeast, NYC, or canada. For me it is about 60% live loads and 40% drop and hook. We are home every weekend I usually get home Friday afternoon/ night and leave out monday morning(sometimes late sunday night) you can stay out for up to two weeks at a time if you want to, but is your choice.

    I have run around 38 I believe. It's called Southeast Regional but that is where the load originates. I haven't been west of the Miss besides Texas and added Jersey and Delaware this week. They say it's 31 but def a few more now ill have to go and count on my time off,,,how dare you.....lol

    I have worked here about three years now and haven't went to Delaware yet, but Jersey several times. I figured i was wrong when i said 21 states (thats what they said when i started). The only thing i have had to unload with them is petco loads but there not bad just pallet jack them off trailer.
