    No. Big G is from Tifton, Georgia.

    I really only dislike Western Express, CRST, England, and Prime.

    Sounds like you’ll be fine on the drug test. I’m no expert but it seems like most of the hair follicle testing companies are the ones to avoid. I’ve only ever heard of it mostly being the megas. Sounds like you need a steppingstone for experience so you may not have a choice. All of the local 100k+ jobs I’ve ever been involved with were only the ol whiz quiz.

    One advantage you have. If you don't mid driving a truck in New England. Many companies won't do New England. Drivers aren't at all familiar with the small roads, low bridges, etc. etc.
    You know at least part of New England. If you are willing. You will be very sought after. You can still do all over the country.
    Right now I have a stupid thought in my mind about running produce from Ca. to New England. Then they'd have something back to Ca. .... Very profitable kind of setup.
