Beware of WEL companies

For a lot of trucking companies going to the northeast is a part of the job. I went up there back and forth from the southeast for 10 years and hated every trip but I did it. When you tell a company a list of what sorts of things you will and won't do expect to get crapped on. There's drivers that do the job every day without complaint. They don't have time to babysit you they're running a business.

 

They can find freight, but they’re probably not gonna haul cheap freight. No way I’d deadhead 200 miles to get a 45k pound load paying $1.30/mile going thru the mountains burning up fuel & tearing up equipment.

 

Freight goes where in goes and in the trucking business companies go after the money. The east coast is densely populated and a lot of good paying freight goes into there. Maybe you could narrow your search to companies that avoid that area? Whatever you do don't go in somewhere telling them how great a driver you are and all the things you won't do. Immediately they know you're gonna be a headache and they won't be sad to see you leave either. You're there to work and whatever or wherever that entails. They're not your travel agency. You can always finance your own truck and do it your way. Good luck.
