FNG in Central Washington

The impression I got was that the flatbed side (System) had more flexibility in where you are based. When I worked for the tanker division (JJWilliams) it seemed you had to be out of a few certain locations. But it doesn't hurt to ask.

Seems like you should be able to find some company that hauls containers to the ports. I know Anderson and a few others up in Ellensburg were advertising for drivers not long ago. They take hay, squeeze it tight and load it into containers to ship overseas. Hay. Doesn't make economic sense to me but what do I know.

 

The flatbed division hires all over the USA.
Jones Bros. Trucking in Missoula, Montana hires all over the USA also.Smaller outfit with nice trucks.

 

Hmm. The guy I spoke with way back when I was in CDL school made it seem like he stayed in the PacNorWest all the time. I just assumed it was that way for the whole division.

 

They have a nationwide fleet and a NW heavy haul flatbed fleet.

 

I've seen their flatbed ads in PA and many other states, including Houston, Texas..
Here's their terminals:

LOL, I remember when they got "terminal" privileges in Longview.

"You folks get that end of the gravel parking lot."

Hope they fixed up that green building for them.

 

When I drove for a flatbed company that ran 48 states & Canada, they had some terminals like that. Went to one and no one worked there. It was an unlocked huge "Tuff Shed" type building that was not locked and had a shower and television with small chair and table.

 

Get every endorsement including TWIC. Seems like you are on track. There are some over here in Spokane that would bring you on but it’s a bit of a drive for you.
