    Hello everyone,
    My name is Cody and I've been driving since 2013 but I changed Careers in 18' and starting operating Cranes. I still used Flatbed trucks, low boys, step decks etc all the time but now I'm getting back to diving OTR. Any suggestions or Recommendations on good companies would be very appreciative. Show me the $$$$$
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    Any CDL endorsements?

    I'm in Kingsport yes but I only have tankers. I dropped my hazmat when I stopped using it. I'm looking to stay out on the road and only come home once a month for doctors appointments

    Show you the $$$$$$$$$....?

    Ok.

    Just remember -- you asked for it. o_O

    If your experience with flatbed/stepdeck/lowboy is what I think it might be....you could be well-qualified for a position like the following.....

    Given the tensions America is now facing overseas....the following might be something you'd like to look into, further.

    You'd have to go back -- & pick that hazmat endorsement back up again. :confused:

    Department of Defense Team Drivers | Drive4ATS

    Basically...the thinking here is...."GO BIG -- OR GO HOME". :)

    As the info in the link indicates -- you'd also need to fill out (& ace) gubmint form SF-86 (if you don't already have such a clearance).

    A similar opportunity, with a smaller company....exists here:

    TEAM DRIVERS | Baggett Transport

    The above is NOT your usual 5-6k miles per week team operation. Think more like 3-4k....or maybe even less....on some weeks.

    But......it's worth it (or so they say). :Transportation cost :Transportation cost :Transportation cost

    SPECIAL NOTE: I am NOT a recruiter for the above (or anyone else, for that matter). I simply became aware of the above thru my own personal research. I have not driven for either of the above companies -- nor do I know anyone else personally who has. I have no clue what life is actually like in either of the above companies, nor do I benefit in any way, if you should pursue either (or elsewhere). CAVEAT EMPTOR. o_O

    So, in other words, nothing that you say is guaranteed to be accurate?
