    Check with the trans-system website; 3 good companies there.

    Watkins & Shepard has terminals in Washington.

    I'd go with Gordon over May; they have a better reputation.
    Check these also:

    Charlies Produce- Seattle, WA
    Comtrak Logistics- Seattle, WA
    K&B Transportation- Seattle, WA - $950 per week
    YRC Freight- Seattle, WA

    So basically you have 10 months OTR experience total and thats approaching 4 year. Ago. I thought most wanted to see 1 year out of the last 2 or 2 out of the last 5 years.You havent been in a truck for 14 months.Yes,I would talk my way in,brush up on the new DOT laws and show some confidence on their driving test.Just saying I m in Washington and have a relative works for Gordan(safety something or other).He says its a great company and they're somewhat strict on their hiring criteria(because theyre ranked high on safety).But if you could get hired there( I would put Gordan #1 on my list.JMO
