    Hi, I live near Salt Lake City and I'm looking for a good company to drive for. I'd like a dedicated route if possible, or regional if that isn't available. Home weekly would be nice. Who should I apply with and who should I avoid???

    I've been off the road for a year with a chain reaction of medical stuff. I'm ready to return to work now, but I'd like a bit of a refresher course before I get back in the saddle.

    I know Praxair is crying for drivers, but it’s shift work, home daily.

    In the current SLC driver job market, that "requirement" probably has a certain amount of flexibility.
