    I tried searching for this company but found nothing on this site. It's a caviat to my previous question, is Decker a good company for someone in Washington. Their pay isn't the best but I do know they mostly do regional. Not a whole lot of OTR companies that take inexperienced guys ship in and out of Washington. I just don't want to be screwed and end up having to drive to another state to work. Thanks for the advice guys. Last post I got amazing advice that really helped!

    Just curious, does interstate still run up there. I knew several people back in the day that started with them when they were new and loved it, some of them lived in Washington.

    If i'm not mistaken, I think Interstate is now owned by Heartland.

    Yea. I see a couple of them but it's rare. They don't pay well but their equipment is always clean and new.

    I have never worked for Decker but did my research and considered them. They seem like a decent enough company. Their pay, as noted, is a bit weak. They have a terminal in Missoula, Montana so definitely go that far. Best bet would be to call them and see what they might have available for you. Best wishes!
