    Check with local household movers. Their busiest season is about to begin.

    I would be careful of "Pray".

    as for JAE, I haven't seen ANY ad's for them in quite some time, which they would be a "regular" on Craig's List.

    Estes, one has to go online, at least, everytime i would go there, and speak with a different person, that is what I would be told.

    Regency, out of Franklin may be a better bet.

    As far as the Taunton Industrial park, he has Agar, maybe Calieco, Maybe some ice cream place in there (I do not know thier name, but they are on Constitution Ave).

    There is also Petco there as well.

    And there is Loomis Armored Truck on Constitution Ave as well.

    Pray out of SEEKONK requires 2 years experience. J. Anthony express I think also requires experience. Why not go regional for a couple of years and get some experience?

    Don't forget about Rich's cold storage in the industrial park.

    Yes, I am MUCHO LOCAL.

    I have personally talked with more than one Pray driver. I think that all I can say is, well, they (Pray) seem to forget there is a logbook involved at times.

    Yes, that IS another one. There is Perkins as well.

    Really too many to remember and name right now.

    I would suggest taking a ride up there and look around, apply with-in.

    I work locally I guess one could say. I work nightly, 5 nights a week, just under 40 hours in fact!! But still take home a paycheck that rivals a P&D driver.

    With the recent upstarting of some construction zones, including the shutting down of the north bound I-93 tunnel (Tip O'Neill tunnel), I now must take a detour that is adding something like "up to" 30 minutes extra now.

    Do you now of the detour that'll get me from downtown Boston to I-93 North bound.??

    I HAVE to deliver in downtown Boston each night. When I leave that place, I go to the "split" for the Mass pike/I-93/South Station, understand too, that I am under the highway, as this may still be called "Frontage Rd". (I have to be on I-93 to get to my next stop, further north).

    No Google maps or Mapquest can see "under" the highway. I really do not want to be swinging a 53 footer on the detour route in Boston, if it is too narrow, so I have been taking the Mass Pike exit.
