Hello to everyone. I wanted to say thanks again for all the good advice I got here back in March.
I wound up applying to White Mountain Trucking in Phoenix AZ in April. I've been with them since then. It's been a good ride with them. I've learned a lot. But I still have a lot more to learn.
As STWIK said in his post, White Mountain runs a lot of west coast freight. I'm usually in AZ, NV, UT and CA with an occasional run to OR, WA, NM and TX. We haul building materials, mostly rebar out of CMC and NUCOR. We also haul other building materials, usually on our backhauls like lumber, stone, coils, sand, charged carbon and a few other items I'm forgetting. Dispatch is able to get us home every weekend if we want it, or we can stay out for as long as we like. I live in Las Vegas NV so I'm usually taking a CMC rebar north to UT or Nor Cal to get me back home.
Equipment here is really good. Many new 2020 KW T 680's. I got a new truck, I couldn't believe it. Some of the more senior drivers get the Pete 379/389's and KW 900's. Fleet is a mix of Autos and 10 speeds. Trailers are mostly newer Utility brand, with an occasional East and Reitnouer sp?
I hope this doesn't sound like a recruiting pitch, it's not. I just feel like I got lucky and got a good gig. Flatbed is a way better fit for me in a lot of ways. Anyway, I guess that's it.
Looking to get into flatbedding and then learn heavy haul
