    Maybe Valley? I see their equipment always looks well taken care of and I notice their trucks all over Ohio and Indiana.

    I don't know anything about how they are to work for though.

    Valley could probably get you home, but expect LONG days and lots of waiting at the steel mulls over here by Burns Harbor. TMC supposedly can get you home weekends as well, but you will tarp EVERYTHING you haul.

    Depending on what you want to do, contact Cpape on here. He runs Art Pape Transfer out of Dubuque and they mainly do John Deere loads and I'm sure they could get you home weekends. Probably run green tractors in and out of Baltimore each week.

    How much hometime are you wanting? Getting into n out of Indiana shouldnt be a problem with Prime. Let the b.s begin... I know its coming....

    At swift we could hit you home regularly. Coils from gary to laredo, Laredo to the carolinas, carolinas to Michigan, Indiana, Iowa, then back to Gary.

    Phoenix, AZ..... yep, most likely.

    And Gary to Laredo then to Carolina's then back to Gary is not descent hometime. Running one of their governed trucks and all those miles, you'd spend 2 weeks out easily before you got home. No thanks
