    What's up everyone.


    Been doing a dedicated run for the last 2 years and it's starting to grow old and boring seeing the same road day after day, Have another lead on a new dedicated running a quad, ten, salaried, and home more than weekends, but I think I'd fall into the same rut. So wanting to see what companies are all out there to start into OD loads (mainly machinery).

    Was looking at RE West out of Ashland, TN two years ago before I went to run Steel, Like the idea of No tarp loads, but not really fond of the idea of the Northeast would rather stick with the Midwest, South. Anyone know of any other companies that do some sort of the same thing as them, or even a little more info about RE?

    Company driver?
    MidWest Transport out of Minnesota. Smaller company, less political BS ( the bigger the company, the more BS),which will allow you to move up the ladder faster and pad your resume. Keep all of your permits, because if you ever go to a pure heavy haul company, the first thing they will ask is about the loads you pulled and the trailer combinations.

    (When you are out in a truck stop, sitting at the lunch counter, you will hear drivers bragging about being EX
    1. Special Forces, sniper, seals and secret service.
    2. Heavy Haul.

    Trucking companies hear the heavy haul claims all the time too. Therefore keep your permits and take pictures and videos. Don’t post them, just keep them for future reference.)

    Luck in battle.
