    Our main headquarters is Richmond Va. we have a terminal in Wytheville Va mainly for the Gatorade account. We have another terminal in West Memphis that has a shop and dispatch. We have a drop yard in Colton Ca, Savannah Ga and Markham Illinois. Hiring area has changed over the last 8 years. I know drivers that live in Washington state, Oregon and Arizona. If you live near West Memphis, Wytheville or anywhere along I-95, you’re in a good hiring area. I live in South Florida by West Palm Beach.

    Average length of haul still fairly long there? I remember years ago they were proud of that average. Im not into the 300 mile hops personally

    We deadhead more than 300 miles. They have some short stuff, mainly on the east coast. If you get in the right lanes, you’ll burn up your 70 in 6 days. West Memphis to Reno back to West Memphis is 4200 miles in a week that can be done legally, reset, rinse and repeat.

    Even the 300 mile hops can run you out of hours if you want. Just gotta hammer the qualcomm and your DM a bit harder.

    Sure.

    I just love having the brakes lock up for no reason. No trucker is complete until they have that happen.
