    Abilene Motor Express will probably hire you. They hire drivers that have been off the road for years.
    Can't help you with Falcon information. They were ok years ago, but that doesn't help now.

    I remember Dick Simon from years ago. Didn't Swift by the company? Some outfit did when they ran into financial problems.
    If you want a Teamsters job, PI&I Motor Express might hire you. I wouldn't work there myself though. Just don't care for union environment.

    Can't really help ya out sorry. I personally perfer the van lines. They do what I call glorified freight. In addition to moving, but their system takes some getting used to. Had a guy laugh at me once because they are paying owner ops like. 70cpm. He didn't listen or understand the pay. Told him it' not about miles. Have to add in the pick up/ del pay, the monthly cell phone pay, the use your tailgate pay, and all the other extras put ya close to or over $2 per mile. Company drivers making percentage getting appx .65cpm. But not the place for guys who want weekends home or 3-4000 miles a week EVERY week
