    He's in South Georgia. It's a little too far out of their hiring area. If he was in Macon and farther north, that could work. If they hired him, they'd require him to stay out 4 to 6 weeks, and he wouldn't get that many days off. Our freight ain't that strong that deep into Georgia.
     
    Lonesome and Chinatown Thank this.

    One moment, please...

    Wright Transportation

    I'd try this one since you're South Georgia. Call them on Monday and see wgat they're about.

    Well I've been driving for 18 years and the last 10+ with the same company. No tickets and 1 accident over 5 years ago. I have tanker and doubles/triples endorsement, a TWIC card and could get a passport. I'm squeaky clean. I have thought about it and want to run all 48 and stay out 3 or 4 weeks. I applied to Indian River, Holland Enterprises and Marten. I think I prefer IRT. Thank you for your help.

    No one is going to hire you. But you can try Chicagoland, the Indian river express, and searching Craigslist.

    The company's you select will be guided by your decision. Who makes a better driver, retention. There are loads, and you know what company is hiring. It is not good, I know what's going on... Bring him to orientation.
