I'm wondering if anyone would like to share any first hand knowledge about either company, specifically working out of these two terminals. I hear McElroy has inconsistent freight in the winter, but is that equally true for all flatbed? McElroy pays .46 a mile and CT pays .40, but maybe CT has more miles so it's hard to compare. McElroy's Evangelical Christian culture may be a bit too conservative for me too, and I'm not sure how much that pops up in daily dealings. I'm from the northeast and just tend to let curse words out without even thinking about it. Not sure if I can break that habit! Any advice is greatly appreciated.
CT out of West Point, VA or McElroy out of Pleasant Hill, NC? Trying to decide.

Is that the only two you're considering? You looking for regional or coast-to-coast?
-
Regional. I need to get home weekends so it's either flatbed or a dedicated account like Dollar General. I have prehire letters from CT, McElroy, and Werner.
Chinatown Thanks this. -
where do you live?
-
Newport News, Virginia, about 45 minutes-1 hour from West Point and 2 hours from Pleasant Hill.
-
I think CT has APU's so that's a positive.
Here's some more with weekends at home:
Decker Truck Line
Builders Transportation Co.
Maverick Transportation
Here's some to ask about; they all have weekends or good home time if slots are available for those accounts:
Knight Transportation-dry van
Wilson Trucking - shuttle driver
Southeastern Freight Lines
Airgas
Drive United
Reddy Ice
YRC Freight
ABF FreightLast edited: Apr 3, 2015

You could also look at Averitt. There are service centers in both Portsmouth and Richmond you could run out of, if you wanted too.
-
Give Uriel Trucking a Call out of Richmond, they hire rookies, home on weekends I believe.
-
Go with the one out of North Carolina. Just because they're out of North Carolina.
