    Hello all - I'm still a rookie - been doing OTR with a mega for 6 months and would like to get a regional gig with a better company.
    I live near I-35. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    What town are you near?
    If you don't find anything you want, switch to Abilene Motor Express. It's not a mega and has an excellent reputation with drivers.
     
    PacoTaco Thanks this.

    Design Transport is not too bad of a place to work. They are in Dallas.
    I worked there for two weeks. Actually, hit another truck during my road test. Don't tell them I sent you and you should do fine.

    Good OTR companies you qualify for are Abilene Motor Express, Magnum Ltd., Freymiller.
    JBS Carriers has a Texas Regional that runs 3 states, but I really don't see how there's enough miles for a good paycheck. Maybe I'm wrong on that.
    Food service company drivers make real good paychecks.
     
    PacoTaco Thanks this.
