    Yes, very. Integrated with Jim Palmer somehow, and Prime, as well. Not easy to get into; great equipment. If they'll have you; go for it.

    There's always Craigslist; there are classifieds on here too. 1099 may not be the 'best' gig, but...if all else fails....

    Not sure I follow you. What address did they want?!? The office to unemployment in your town? They have really nice equipment, btw. APU's, TV, etc.... so i've heard.

    Have you checked CFI? Since they've been bought/sold/merged, they've been pretty relaxed about their requirements with experience etc.... for now, anyway.... until they build their reputation back up.
    A guy I know from another forum had a 'lil bit in his past, and they took him on, and he's kicking butt there, about 3 months in.
    Heartland, I know nothing about, sorry. If you are up to flatbed, you could try Western Express, also.

    Maybe @djohnson6425 could help you out; he's got a company he works for that he has nothing but good to say of; not sure if they hire in your area, however. Since I tagged him, perhaps he will show up and answer your questions; i'm not sure how to link his thread to here; sorry.
