    Hey guys thanks for taking the time to read my post. I was wondering any feed back from any of these companies. I live in las vegas nv, I see interstate advertising hard on craigslist in vegas, I don't think they have a yard/terminal here so don't know where i'd park my truck. I hope they don't make me take a bus all the way to tacoma wa. They seem pretty decent, I don't know how true it is about refrigerators on all trucks, I was wondering if they have an apu? What's the idle policy?

    For Gordon i know i'll have to take a bus to Fontana for orientation, which is fine. I don't think I like their pay and miles that much, but they do have apus in their trucks, downside is the freightliners don't have a top bunk so less storage and I wanted to possibly bring someone with me, so I don't think that would work.

    I know Knight has a terminal in vegas, I used to work for them, but I rather try something else before going back.

    I have 9 months OTR and 9 months Oilfield tractor trailer so over all about 18 months TT, no accidents clean criminal and i'm 23 yo.

    I know right? I'm pretty screwed here.. Hate las vegas for otr work, it's all big ####ty companies. I've found some small ones that I don't qualify due to lack of exp/age and the ones I can get on with they pay you on 1099 and I don't want that either.. ugh.. wish the oilfield would come back so i can go back to Texas lol

    Try Holland Enterprises Inc.
    They have all the driver comforts plus rider program from day one. Your 18 mos should qualify you, but that's not my call.

    And no more apu's as the Gordon trucks are phased out.

    you think they hire out of Las vegas?? I mean they're from ND.. I've seen it before (their website) I applied with them, let's see what they say.
