    Looking for a new company, one to stick with for a while. 23 years old, 1 year otr exp. (Dry van and a little with reefers).Class A, no endorsements, yet, no tickets or accidents. Would prefer ungoverned or atleast 70 or higher (personal safety concerns) and manual transmissions. Home time not a big factor, don't care if home every weekend or once a month. Company names and starting rate appreciated. Not really interested in reading a bunch of extra comments about your feelings on governed trucks and the bashing of someone else's input. Thanks ahead of time. Just a serious driver looking for a serious company.

    Will learn anything I'm taught to do right, skateboards, drop decks, would prefer not to pull refers, but if the money is there then I'll learn to sleep with the noise.

    Didn't know there where companies letting you run 70+ unless your an owner/op. Anyways good luck, nothing out here in California that meets your requirements.

    Quite a few still run 70, just have to avoid the megas. Coal City Cobb runs tankers @ 70, Abilene is 72, I believe someone said Schuster(spelling) turns you up to 70 after 2 quarters of safe driving. JRRW out of Dallas TX or North Liberty Iowa still run 70, thousands of 1099's let you run 70+ as well.
