So just to be clear we are talking about finding someone who pays percentage? TMC was one of my first options, but alas, they don't hire in the western states. They are the only one I have come across so far.
Melton or System Transport for a rookie?

I have seen more System trucks then Melton up in your neck of the woods. That is kinda important so that you get home when you want to. Central Oregon runs up in that area also, but that would probable be a better place to look into once you have some time running flat. There are actually several flat companies in your area, but your gonna want to go somewhere that can help you out being new, then talk to drivers from other companies your run into and ask them. They all have the good and bad. I would really consider Roehl if they hire out of that area for a new driver to flat. Which ever company you decide to go with, stick it out for a year or two. Switching companies starts to look bad on your record.
Just passing by and Feanor Thank this. -

Jones Brothers in Missoula was mentioned. I know of a rookie t hat rolled his truck 4 months into driving. Ther compa ny blamed themselves for not training properly. The load was rough cut lumber and that settles faster. He was only 20 miles into his trip, went around a corner, the load leaned and took the truck over. Because the lumber had settled the straps had loosened enough to allow this to happen.
That is a stand up company righht there.speedyk, Airborne, Roberts450 and 1 other person Thank this. -
