    They'll hire you solo to run wild - for sure. Check them out, I just left there after 7 years. Great company. Better than cruddy OTR pay. (No offense to OTR guys!)

    Navajo Express has a dedicated run Denver to Tucson, back and forth.
    A&R Transport - probably make between $65K-$72K . Dont' need tanker endorsement or hazmat because they haul plastic pellets.
    Freymiller
    Clean Harbors
    Pride Transport
    Cardinal Logistics

    DSW Trucking in Phoenix - don't know anything about this company though.

    I drove for YRC Logistics for a few years running reefers 48 states. Maybe they don't have that anymore.

    Sure, they're OK with it. Make sure they understand the exact dates and they'll work with you.

    Take home pay question.I know this will vary from state to state. I live in AZ.How many cpm and how many miles in a week to take home 850-950 dollars. For me my wife and two dependents ,I know each company has different health plans, so that will vary. But after all taxes and health insurance I would like to take home around 850-950. Thank you all for your replies,it's helping me make a decision.
