    I hope some of you are around here. I am closing in on 2 years exp., clean record, twic card, all the endorsements.

    I am making about 3800 gross a month working for SNI on a dedicated team route, and HATE it (sleeping while some one else is driving). I am looking at trying to get local & can't find much on how some of our local companies pay. I am looking at Williams Tank Lines, Rocha trucking & RUAN's local tankers. Being here in modesto there doesn't seem to be a whole lot, but not being home much it is hard to check out.

    thoughts on other local compainies...
    advice...suggestions? I am all ears, thanks in advance.

    Best trucking jobs are not in the paper or computer. Get out and knock on a few companys doors next time your home. Will be your best chance for a good driveing job. Alot of trucking outfits in our area.

    as much as it sucks, someone like sysco is usally the best paying jobs, but there usually over 200% touch freight, not for everyone, but you can do 60-80k if not more.

    I work for US Foods, and every day i go in is a 300 dollar day, and then I drive home. Good insurance, good retirement, we are union. Pretty good job, doesn't get much better than this for pay and benefits anymore.
