    Freymiller has refresher course and runs west coast, but also runs northeast sometimes.

    A&A Express looks pretty good on the website. Trucks have APU.
    All those I listed should provide a pretty good paycheck though..
    Van Kampen has some fine looking trucks too.
    Apply to all of them then go from there with the job offers.

    I live in superior about five miles from their main terminal. Never drove for the but I do know a few of the managers. Decent folks to deal with in my experience.

    That being said I would check out Magnum as well. Your not far from the coon rapids terminal and once you have a year of experience you could move over to the dedicated or ltl fleets if you wanted and be home every day.

    Yes, Magnum Ltd. has a good thread on here; drivers seem real content working there. Not sure of their freight lanes, but run most everywhere. Pay seems good at over a grand a week. One driver posted he makes $1500 weekly which is probably on the high end of the pay. Probably easy plan on over a thousand though.

    Magnum LTD is a great choice so long as you want to drive and can live without a lot of hand holding. We have very nice equipment and run lanes from coast to coast w/o doing NY, CA, MA, VT, ME, AZ, NV or NM.

    Pay is based on performance after a 4 or 6 month period and is typically $0.47 per mile - high performers are at $0.50. Typically you at our 3 weeks and hometime is as much as you can afford within reason.

    Hope this helps.

    Started out driving for Prime, Inc. Then did the cement powder runs with pneumatic tanks.

    Been with Magnum Ltd for the past month now. Great company. I'm already breaking 2,800-3000 miles per week

    No California, Florida, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, New York or anywhere North of there. Started at .39 / mile. After a few months you go to performance based pay ranging from .45-.55 / mile. Great dispatch and system.
