    Try looking at Modular out of Grand Rapids area, they might hire out of your area. Pay your Health bennies for you. Have a couple O/o that have driven for them for years in our town and they also have a nice size farm, must be able to balance work and farming.

    Britton Transport is a good one. @MrEd works there. Most companies charge an insurance fee to take a rider along, but I think Britton pays the fee for you.
    As for working local in a few months, you'll probably have to change companies, but that's ok, plenty to choose from.
    If Britton Transport doesn't work out, try these with rider program:
    Navajo Express
    Schuster - your daughter will like this one; nations largest ice cream hauler.
    Freymiller
    Shaffer Trucking
    Titan Transfer
    Magnum Ltd.
    Butler Transport
    West Side Transport

    Does West Side still have a weekly guarantee. Not being reefer is a big plus of course.

    Still shows on the website. Saw an ad in March that still shows it.

    Not the most scenic corridor of the country, unfortunately.
