    Just a quick shout out to everyone.... I'm a veteran driver of over 20yrs returning to the road after a five year hiatus, and I'm a newbie to this forum. I'm looking for decent companies for company drivers. I have all endorsements, TWIC, Fast Pass, Passport, and severe New England and Alaska winter weather driving experience. While I prefer hazmat tankers, I'll pull anything with wheels, anywhere. Feel free to say hello and thanks in advance for any leads!

    If you want the small mom & pop outfits, Craigslist is a good source of jobs.
    Where is your location?

    Navajo Express has a terminal in Jackson,TN. Coast to coast refrigerated company.
    Abilene Motor Express would work for Memphis area. Coast to coast dry van with some refrigerated thrown in. Trucks run 72 mph.
    Freymiller will hire you. Fancy trucks running refrigerated coast to coast.
    Titan Transfer in Shelbyville,TN is dry van and probably hire you. Problem is solo drivers run eastern states and teams get the west coast freight.

    MILS - Miller Intermodal Logistics has a yard in Collierville. Tank company, hauling mostly resins for AOC. Good company, good trucks and good pay.

    A&R Logistics has a terminal in Jackson,TN. Don't know their policy on that 5 yr. gap in driving, but a phone call can answer that question.

    I'm actually familiar with each of those companies now that you've listed them. I don't want too small of a company, but I don't want a JBH or Swift sized company, either - (nothing against either one).

    Look at Britton Transport.
    South-East Carriers - smaller dry van headquartered in Tennessee.
    Milan Express has terminal in Jackson,TN
    R.E. West in Lebanon,TN hauls hot water heaters nationwide out of the A.O. Smith factory in Ashland City,TN. I think it's driver assist unloading. I've hauled those hot water heaters and they slide easy in the cardboard boxes across wood floors.
