    @Phenomenal, some other companies that you might find of interest:

    Robert Bearden, located in Cairo, GA:

    Find Jobs – Robert Bearden Inc. (rbitrucking.com)

    David Express (but that one is of course already listed, above).

    I've heard good things previously about AMX, in Ashford, AL:

    Alabama Motor Express - AMX (amxtrucking.com)

    Also....you might check out Marten Transport--they look for drivers in this area:

    Home - Marten (drive4marten.com)

    I would probably be driving for one of these myself--but none of them do that hazmat tanker thing....:p

    Ohhh ok I saw them as like Goggin Refrigerated something like that at one of the places I pick up regularly. Did you run a lot of Northeast? One guy had that complaint.

    Unless you are bobtailing, there are not many places for the whole thing with the trailer. Truck stops, yes, FCFS, if you have someone to pick you up. There is an option to rent a space for bobtail (many have RV spots) at some self storage near by, if there are any. Swapping truck and car would be easy and parking secured. Otherwise, good luck finding spot.

    I wish they'd open up a school in southwest Wisconsin or northeast iowa. It's not like there's no big dairy operations here.

    it's personal.

    here's why.

    decades ago, they had a lease program. I HAD then as i HAVE NOW, financial stability and money to invest. i also had a great DMV report, background, and experience as well.

    they offered me a very used worn out freightliner with like 600,000 miles on it. (but they said it was "well maintained"..)...yeah...riiight.....

    i told them that i could double and even TRIPLE a down payment, for a NEW Freightliner.

    they said NO.....used or nothing....

    i told them to "screw off", but i can assure you, i did not use the word, "screw".

    later, like about less than one year, Don Freymiller HIMSELF,

    CO-SIGNED ALL the leases for ALL new people wanting to lease, and they got NEW trucks..>!!!

    like WTF, here i was more than willing to go over and above the down payment, and that jackwagon denies me..???

    then if i recall, he moved out of the state, (CA i believe), relocated someplace else, and filed bankruptcy??

    screw Freymiller.
