Colorado based, family owned company looking for O/O

The company I am leased to (HVH Transportation) is looking for more owner operators. There is a sign on bonus for teams, but am unsure of the amount. I will post when I find out. There may be one for solo drivers as well but am not sure, again I will post when I find out for sure.
There used to be a minimum age requirement for tractors but that has just been lifted at the beginning of the year.

I will post some of the details below from HVH themselves. Please contact me at jeepinaround@gmail.com or on this forum and I will be glad to chat with you and answer any questions I can about my experiences.

Sorry it took so long to get back. the sign on bonus for solo is $2000 after 6 months and the sign on bonus for teams is $4000, $2000 after 6 months and $2000 after another 6 months. They are looking for drivers pretty hard.
