    Everywhere lol they're kinda the man in the middle. You could get up to Arcadia. Over to NM they recently shifted those loads to run out of ecru. Plenty of Texas, Arkansas and Oklahoma. Into Al and Ga up to NC and arm. They have a pretty broad range out of there.

    I'm headed to ecru with a load of fiber out of lake city, sc then planned on a load to Dallas out of ecru for tomorrow.

    Looking at a 35-3600 week by the time I get back Saturday.

    So I know the pay isnt as good as the LTL out of Ecru, but is it decent? And can you swap to LTL if it comes available?

    Yes and yes.

    I'm looking at 72-73k this year.

    Other guys at other locations are comparable.

    Do you have a recruiter name in Arcadia that one can call. Im sure they will require me to get some current experience which is fine just want to get my name in the mix.

    They don't really use recruiters as in the traditional sense. You'll work through their HR department. Try calling Nate, he's the guy I worked with. 608-323-3377 ext. 128664.

    Yeah, see the problem i have is i havent driven in 7 1/2 years. I been working offshore all over the world. In Australia right now. But i am burnt out and been thinking about getting back in a truck. Ecru plant is 7 miles from me. I drove OTR hauling furniture for 8 years out of New Albany, Ms. Plus about 4 months as a yard driver for Ashley. I guess I will have to go drive for someone for a year and get some current OTR which sucks cause i can still drive a truck just insurance reasons i guess. Seems like a road test could prove all this. Ha oh well.
