    You won't see ads for LPG jobs, those companies have drivers and applicants who seek LPG positions out.

    My wife is from Russia and her sister and family live there. She was an English teacher in Russia, so she'll be looking for a teaching gig of some sort. I just sold my barber shop in Naples FL and I might actually buy a day cab if there's a good O/O gig. I used to run belly dump, had my own Ford 9000 when I was 23 :)

    Thanks you guys for the help.

    Anyone know anything about Sunset Logistics? I see their ads on C/L

    I applied to them while I was in Austin. They make it sound ok, but I talked to many folks stating you really can't make any money with them. I dunno. If you have nothing else going on, it might be worth checking out. Good luck!

    Fuel and LP is sounding pretty good. Be a company driver...

    I miss doing LTL but sounds like the freight is slow in the industry right now

    These folks were company or O/O? Is it just too inconsistent work? The website says $5000 week, maybe they're full of #$%^

    I'd probly buy an old '04 or '05 cummins daycab for cash and look into tanker/pneumatic maybe.

    My problem with some of these company driver applications is that I haven't driven in 3.5 years, even though I have 25 years clean MVR and 7 years and over 100,000 miles with R+L.

    The other thing I'm concerned about is if the economy takes a dump. I'd probly be better off as a company guy running a fuel tanker than an O/O running aggregate
