The full size truck is best for OTR. It's bad when you have to take the passenger seat out just to have storage space.
Did you look at Schuster?
Check Britton Transport refrigerated division.
J&R Schugel or Prime?

Does J&R go out west much? Part of the reason I want to do OTR is check out the states I haven't been to (the entire west coast, north/southeast.
-
In my year and a half there, I went out west 5 times. 2 trips to California, 2 to Utah, and one to Colorado. So it's rare, but not unheard of. Most of the time, you're running between MN to NJ, MN to GA and MN to TX.
When you deliver to NJ, cross your fingers for a gentek building products load out of Avenel.... great 2000+ miles runs out of that place. -
Navajo Express run out west a lot and has a terminal/drop yard in Chino,CA. They will fly you to Denver for orientation; no bus to deal with.
Danny Herman Trucking runs west coast a lot also and don't run New York City or northeast.
Don Hummer Trucking runs all over.Last edited: Dec 23, 2016
milehunter43 Thanks this. -
AN Webber gets out west all the time. Delivering water heaters is a great gig. In 14 months with them, I've been to WA several times, OR, CA, UT, NV, CO, ID and SD to deliver them. By far the best job I've ever had.
Metallica88, Rusty Trawler, milehunter43 and 1 other person Thank this. -
I've recommended that company to several people; don't know if they went or not. You Webber drivers showing RE West how to do it right!Knucklehead Thanks this.

I read that Prime sends their drivers to Concentra for the DOT Physical (was hoping they had an in house doc). That right there is making me lean towards J&R.
-
Good for you; Prime also pushes the CPAP devices.
-
I pass swift all day long, prime is governed at 65-66

There's a lot of ignorance from people who think they know what they're talking about. Prime does physicals in house. Prime is governed at 65 for lease ops and 62 for company drivers.
