    I've been out of the trucking world for nearly a decade, but with this economy I was just laid off. I'm just looking for advice on what companies might be hiring out of Texas running reefer without the need to run the Northeast. Any help on where to start my searches would be greatly appreciate.

    PS. I've ran reefer before, so I'm aware of some of the drawbacks. However, I figure everybody still has to eat no matter how poorly the economy is doing. Also I'm looking for an outfit that has a rider and passenger program.

    National Carriers is out of Texas. It's a division of National Beef.

    Does anyone have any good source on Wilson? I think I'm doing something wrong since I really can't find much on them.

    Sorry to hear about you getting laid off. What industry were you in? Your gonna be amazed at how much the trucking industry has changed in your time of being out of it. Not in a good way!!!

    You gotta do what you gotta do though, I understand that.

    Best of luck to you.

    I've been mostly in the oilfield for the last 7, though I did a 1 year with McLane out of Colorado during the last downturn. The amount of work and bullspit with that work is worth more than they pay though.
