    Looking for a company with decent pay that will allow my wife and dog to be with me on the road. 6 months OTR experience, want to save money up to buy a house and not have to spend money on rent and other bills.
    Located out of California but we want to move to Texas eventually.

    Danny Herman, but I don’t know about the dog and wife. Ask them.

    If you and wife are not both driving food will get expensive very fast. Unless wife does crock pot meals most days?

    Yeah, that’s no joke. I used to spend around $300-$500 a month on food when I was OTR, and I was by myself.

    Danny Herman Trucking is headquartered in Mountain City, Tennessee and has facilities in Southern California and Texas. They don't run northeast and most of their freight lanes are below I-40.

    Ozark will hire you in east Texas and they have a wife-dog policy.

    How about the wife gets a CDL and you just drive team? Only way this scenario really makes sense...
