Hi. This is the first time i've ever posted anywhere so if post looks messed up that's why. I'm from reno, nevada and work out here is slow. My wife has a real good friend in Fort Wayne and we have decided to move because our state is not doing well. We want a better life, nicer people. My question is this: what company would you recommend as a comp that I could start with. i have three years OTR experience driving 53 footers, dirt truck double transfers. Currently, I'm working for a comp that just doesn't have the work. was trying to avoid OTR because i have four boys but i cant anymore. I would appreciate any suggestions you have. I was thinking i would look for a company that has a terminal in Allen County and apply here. Do companies allow drivers to transfer to other states? How would you advise me to go about this? Any companies to avoid? I have clean record, no tickets, twic card. all endorsements but hazmat and am working on that. Thank you, Renojc6

 

Wow, That is huge question. Truth is there are lots of companies in that area. I do not know much about them, but look forward to following your adventures, as I too am considering locating back to the midwest for various family reasons and getting home more often, if not daily. Good luck.

 

A drvr I saw today was having a baaaaaaaaaad day. Parked on a shoulder, at a rest area ramp, and guess the shoulder gave way. Tlr was laying on its side, with all the airlines and pigtail still attached. Wondering why the tractor, didn't go over with it? Strange.

 

I have seen several of those in Ohio. Wet winter and ground never froze. So all the banks on the roadside are loose.

 

Ouch! Not a good way to wake up for the day

 

3080 miles in 6 days. Wish I could get that all the time. Boss wanted me to run a load to AR tomorrow, said it would take 9 hrs. Told hime cool, would have enough time to go home for a reset. "Oh, ready for some time off?" Me "nope, but dang if I'll sit in AR for a reset". Going to KC on Monday instead. Wonder if I pissed hime off???
