Olde-Tyme CDL-A 44-Year “Gentleman of the Road” – Moving On

Afterthought: he would get a nice pay boost, if he renewed his hazmat.

I renewed mine in August.

It's not hard....it is a bit of legwork, however.

But....trucking isn't for lazy people, anyway.

Myself and others on this forum have worked for CDL temp agencies, and they're a good deal. The pay is good and some have benefits also.

 

I missed the dry van as a "Must Have" in you post.
I listed all reefer companies with Southwest Runs.

 

With dry van his odds of going to the West Coast are slim. Most dry van, such as Werner & Schneider don't send solo drivers to the West Coast from the East Coast unless it's teams. I know there are anomalies to that, before someone jumps on me. So, if he has his sights set on Southwest runs, he should ask about that before accepting any job.

 

This one is dry van, but don't know if solo drivers run to the Southwest. You'll have to call and ask.

I know how your husband feels about wanting runs to the Southwest. I did mostly reefer runs to the Southwest from Tennessee. I liked it so much I moved to Nevada. Arizona is also a good state. Arizona is phasing out state income taxes and Nevada has no state income taxes and no taxes on food at the grocery stores.

 

I love Florida and have lived there for several years. Only problem now is home prices are going up due to all the New Yorkers moving there. I really love Henderson, Nevada though. It borders Las Vegas and never know if you're in Las Vegas or Henderson. I'm about 15 or 20 minute drive to the Las Vegas Strip. Beautiful view at night from my living room window.
