KandeeKane9, when you start out, it can be challenging to find the right company, especially when you don't have any experience. The reason some carriers don't hire from certain areas is due to them not being able to get you home very often. Another may be the shortage of available freight. With several turning you down because of where you live, you may just need to make a lot of phone calls. Some carriers list their jobs with local state employment offices. This is a resource that is missed by many potential drivers. But, if you go by a truck stop and pick up some of the trucking magazines, they usually list or have an outline of areas where they hire. I don't know where you reside in West Virginia, but there is bound to be a truck stop somewhere not too far from you. If there isn't anything close, it would make a nice drive to find one. The big chains usually have the magazines, such as TA, Petro, Pilot, Flying J or Love's. There are several independent truck stops in your state, as well. You should be able to google "truck stops" or do a search for diesel prices in WVA. It may bring up the website www.dieselboss.com. You can plug in the primary roads or cities near you and it will bring up truck stops.

 

I am glad there is a truck stop near you. There are some jerks in this business, but I think you will find most are willing to talk with you and share their experience with their company.

 

There are no Doubles with Conway Truckload. You are confusing them with Conway Freight.
