    I have about 15 months of experience as an OTR driver, all reefer or van. I am looking for the best company I can find to run with. I live in Northwest Florida, I don't mind driving anywhere except around NYC, I don't care for the North East in general but it's not a deal breaker. I want to run 3-4 weeks out 3-4 days home.

    OK, you posted under the lease/purchase thread is why I mentioned that.
    Danny Herman runs mostly south of I-40 and lots of Texas border towns.
     
    Bluepride2007 Thanks this.

    None of those are require lease/purchase and some may not even offer it.
    Butler Transport runs west and I've seen their ads for drivers as far west as Phoenix.

    One year experience and already whining about the east coast? Dude, FL is ON the east coast! Don't be scared of NYC. ( just busting your balls, I know how you feel!) Consider NFI, you may not have enough experience though. I have a friend who drives for Metropolitan Trucking , he says he really likes them. Not big money, but .39 per mile. Good luck.
