    I thought I would ask this in this area advice from drivers that have been out there.

    Just resigned from last driving position. Drove for them 16 to 17 months.

    Looking for dry van preferred but may look at refer.
    Trucks that are governed at over 67 would be nice.
    APU and inverter or if they allow inverters to be installed.
    I am not interested in much home time, as I prefer to stay out and drive.
    I keep the left side door shut, and I roll after my 10.
    I like to run lanes.
    I like to night run when ever possible.
    Would like to stay away from North East and North West running.
    Looking for a company that can do their best at keeping me rolling.
    Someone that wants to hire a truck driver and not a steering wheel holder.

    If it helps my home is in Western NC off of I40

    If you can suggest a company name for me to look at, I would appreciate that.

    Thank you

    Not the smallest company but you could look at Tyson foods. Haul our own product. A lot of driving is done at night. They do their best to keep you rolling. A lot of it depends on plants as well. Will do a lot of sitting at some but a lot of them arent bad. 66 mph on throttle 68 mph on cruise. No driver facing cameras but do have one that faces out.

    I am sort of looking that too, but would also like to run OTR as well. Asheville is about 30 miles or so East of where I live.

    Here is my list of companies I am presently looking at. If anyone has an opinion on one please let me know. Might even be able to help other that maybe looking. A deal breaker would be if any of these have rear facing cameras. Trying look at any info I can find of these companies.

    TNI
    Brock Transportation
    Autozone
    Red Classic Logistics
    ATS
    Southwest Freightlines
    Road Dog Trucking
    Wright Transportation
    Indian River Transport
    Carolina Tank Lines
    Outwest
    Wise way

    Thank you for you honest opinion. I like to drive, not looking for much home time or down time. I like to run and burn my 70 take a 34 and roll after.
