    Ashley's main hub is in Ecru just north of Pontotoc. My dads been driving for them for almost 21 years. I can prob help you. I know most of their stuff now requires 2 years. But they do make great money.

    It does require 2 years but I'd like to know if its something that's even an option in the future. My main concern is that ecru is about 150 or so miles north of me. Home daily or weekly is great depending on the position but I'd love to park the truck at a local truckstop or something instead of driving that far twice a week in a personal car

    There trucks are parked in Ecru no exceptions, due to their maintenance policy. Think they will only hire in a 100 mile radius or less maybe. But yeah they are a great company with top notch equipment. Prob all you could get is P2p out of Ecru. Last I talked to them there was a 15 man waiting list for LtL, and they move within before hiring from outside.

    Got you so unless I moved closer to tupelo area they're not much of an option. Of course with the pay and hometime id have enough to buy some land and a house.
