    Greetings everyone!

    I am new here, and been thinking for a while that I would like to drive. Much of the information I have found online has been OTR related with national carriers.

    Can anyone reccomend companies that have northeast regional runs?

    Thanks!

    ~Jason

    You can try J.B Hunt,I know they do regional,but I think you need at 3 months exp to get in.Most companys required at lease 3-6 months exp before you can get a regional job.I know swift requireds 6 months exp,and I think but not sure werner dont required a min exp but there is a waiting list.This is what I was told.

    Pretty much all your majors have a NE regional availibilty. They will require varying degrees of experience though.

    Smith always looks good on their ads. Not sure if their pay is BS or not. But, it looks really good.

    Schneider is a good place to look. They have a JP Penny account out of Hartford. The have some of the best training you can get. If you pay your own way (NETTS) New England Tractor Trailor School you can ask them what connections they have. After getting a year in you can look at

    Cowan
    Coke
    BJ's
    M&M
    NFI
    JB Hunt
    BARR NUNN
    United Food Service
    Fed Ex....Ect

    These are just some of the companys that operate regional out of or through CT.
