    Haven't seen that ad in a long while, so don't remember the trucking company that has that account.
    Seems like drivers had to go through a temp agency to be placed there.

    I am a couple times retired .... it isn't much fun after a couple of months. Having fun trucking now. It really is fun if you stay a company driver or if you insist on having your own rig make sure there is no debt and lots of cash $$$ in the bank then that is fun to. Enjoy America it really is cool

    Andrus out of St. Geo, UT is dry freight and runs strictly 11 western, I drove for them for awhile. GREAT company to drive for. I spent a great deal of time in Colorado, Oregon and Los Angeles.
    Here at Pride we have 11 western but it is reefer.
    Feel free to ask any questions about either company.
    Best of luck finding what you are looking for.
     
    Flankenfurter and Chinatown Thank this.

    @Chinatown Thanks for all the companies. What a great response from all. I'm taking notes.

    @Snowshoes and all...Do you think I should go OTR or Regional? I want to get miles, don't care about seeing the whole country, love the West, happy to drive similar and familiar routes but not be dedicated to a route, and like seeing people I know at each of the stops I make. I also don't have to be home every week for now.

    I liked running 11 western and I got all the miles I wanted. I am not currently driving, I am working in the breakdown department with Pride, but when I was driving, I was dedicated and got all my mileage bonus every month, unless I chose to take time off. I guess what I am saying, is, it is possible to still make miles while driving regional or dedicated.
    I drove national for Crete and hardly ever made the miles I wanted. Partially my fault I will admit, I was new and did not know the ins and outs.
     
    Flankenfurter Thanks this.

    CPC Logistics does Walgreens nation wide ... They require experience, a clean background, and even a good credit score
