    Pride Transport has a good reputation and runs through Las Vegas a lot. Also has a safe/secure place to park the truck in Las Vegas when you're on hometime.
    @Snowshoes works there and can explain it all.

    Danny Herman runs east coast, but they don't do much northeast besides the occasional Carlisle, PA load. It's pretty evenly split on where you'll be at any time since they do long run coast to coast lanes.

    IWX Motorfreight runs a ton of Midwest to southwest. I'm sure they run east on occasion, but it's rare to see them

    KKW Trucking hires Las Vegas drivers and only runs 11 Western states which includes Texas.
