My dad is looking to get into trucking.

Hey Luke, welcome aboard. 1st, I wish MY old man would have taken an interest in trucks. He HATED trucks,,anyway, a member here named Chinatown will most certainly be able to help. I'd try a company, a GOOD company that would take a team, with a year OTR, you can go almost anywhere today and maybe dad can ride along and get experience that way. Chinatown would know, ( it's probably like 3 in the morning in China) He's the best. Good luck.

 

I'm having a brain fart.
What is a DV?

 

@Chinatown

 

Which state is your father's domicile? I'm guessing Washington, since you said CDS driving school. Anyway, he's hirable. If he's in Washington and graduates from CDS you two can team with Brown Line or Lynden Transportation or TWT Refrigerated Service.

 

Brown Line : Brown Line is recognized as an industry leader in the transportation of temperature-controlled, less-than-truckload (LTL) and truckload service to customers throughout the U.S. and Western Canada.
TWT Refrigerated Service - advertises team pay is $.60 cpm split.

 

Your father may have to get the DV charged purged to run through Canada; I don't know for sure. Maybe there's a waiver. I'm not familiar with the rules concerning that. The trucking company should know.
Here's Lynden freight lanes:

Main Hiring Locations:

• Alaska
• Pacific Northwest
• Texas

 

I think Nancy Baer hires teams out of Washington.
