    The one company I can think of that runs W9's is Taylor Services, but they are out of Blairsville. I run through lewisburg a lot on my way to Washingtonville to PPL's power plant.

    I remembered another. Ash resources is from out your way. I see them in the Sunbury power plant all the time. Don't know much about them though.

    I would'nt be too picky. A truck is a truck. Get a job first. Dumps don't pay that great as it's ussually a 1 say haul and the Railroads are competitive in a lot of places. hauled Coal from KY, hated it. It's filthy work. so is hauling Chicken Poop, an Agricultural Product as well as cow guts, (Officially offal) blood, Cement, drilling mud, beer bottles frozen to your trailer, etc

    i guess there will be i know there is alot of truck down here running from arronsburg to ppl plant in danville hauling stone. i just cant ever get there names off the side of truck because im passing by. im just looking see if ppl can give me some companies and go from there i asked my boss if he could put me in one of his otr trucks n he kinda laughed and said you can't take a w9 with a 72 inch sleeper and run it locally to make enough money. wich i thought was weird cuz im sure there is enough coal or salt or w/e picking up this time of year so i don;t see how i couldnt make him any money hauling to nj or ny and coming back to pa with a load but, i took his word for it but im sure you can make money hauling locally i just need find some companies around that haul locally. i mean i dont know if im ready to go out on the road having a 5 year old and 2 year old looking forward to see me everynit so right now im trying stay locally or maybe out one or two night a week any help will be greatly appreciated
