Columbia, SC Area

Hey, I live in the Augusta, Ga area. I'm going with Millis Transfer, and they are out of WI, but have a terminal in ATL. The offer training if you need it.

 

Well, TMC has a terminal just up the hill from the Pilot on Charleston Hwy, and there are quite a few terminals down on Old Dunbar Road. Southeast Freight has a terminal on Sunset Blvd and there is a R & L terminal on the frontage road of I26 but I don't think they hire out of that terminal any longer.

 

howell's motor freight (i think that's the right name) called me yesterday about an app the have a terminal near the airport in columbia. downfall for me was not being allowed to take truck home, i'm not ready to drive an hour back and forth for hometime.

 

After 4 weeks on the road away from home, 1 hour to drive home will be cake.

 

That's for sure!
An hour is NOTHING.

If an hour's drive doesn't sound good to you, you might want to seriously reconsider getting into the trucking industry.
Trust me, after driving 8 to 10 hours a day 6 or 7 days a week, an hour's drive will fly by.
If not, you've made a mistake, and will probably come to detest driving a Big truck.

 

trust me, i dont detest driving. but there's no reason for me to accept a job that's gonna require me to have my wife drive me an hour to/from the truck or buy another vehicle. there are too many companies that will allow me to take the truck home.

 

Nu way industrial services.They do regional hauls,You will need hazmat .I worked for them about 2 yrs ago.They are ok to work for.

 

wow dude.. please dont take this as negative, i live in charlotte nc and used to drop truck and trailor # the truckstop down there in kings mtn nc # exit 5 on i-85, she wont mind the drive after u bein gone so long!!! my wife had to drive from the east side of charlotte to come get me and there wasnt a single time where she wasnt avoiding speed traps to get there lol

 

I have 2 job offers. 1 is Great Wide Transport and the other is R.C. McEntire. Does anyone have any info on these places? I am pretty new to the Columbia SC area and have no clue which would be the better choice, or at least the lesser of two evils! Any input would be greatly appreciated.
