Good Companies?

look around washington, haul them apples this time of year.

 

bring em south + haul those chickens back. think reefer

 

First.... chickens will not pay your fuel to get back to Washington.....



As far as a company goes you need to weigh the pros and cons. A lot of the flat bed companies will get you home on the weekend and some van will. Look to see if the company has a regional run around where you live. Most important try to find a company you will be able to stay with for a year or more. You do not need to job hop right out of driving school, it can ruin your record. Hope this helps.

 

I started out at ROEHL transport then went to um... (shhh!) JB Hunt not proud of that but my goal was a home daily job, I am now at Old Dominion and will stay there, linehaul is the way to go, good pay great company, I only worked 3 days last week but brought home over $500. conway is good I hear, fed ex and ups is good also. Linehaul=hook a set of trlrs, go to a meet point or terminal, drop, rehook a set and go back home, no waiting no bumping docks almost no BS. that is where its at! oh and at jb I was on a dedicated run, logged about 60-68 hrs a week (5 day work week) made pennies, now I am logging about 48 (3-5 day work week) making more and actually have a schedule, home about the same time every day. Be sure to get your hazmat and double/triple endorsements this will open up doors once you get experience.

 

dude says he is in idaho, i aint never hauled any flatbed loads in and out of there, but have apples and chickens.
