    There's a few threads on here about them -- some of their policies are a little funky such as having to run so many miles a month to retain benefits, but it seems like the hard runners love it there. Some of their drivers would have to clarify all that, but they seem like a good fit for someone who doesn't like east coast

    if I don’t make the miles then it’s on them
    Cause I’m willing to run and take as many miles as they can give me as long as under DOT regulations

    @bryan21384 can tell you about Climate Express. Saw an ad one time for Las Vegas drivers.

    Call the companies and ask them to have a current working driver in whatever division you want to work call you. Assk him questions like how much do you make a week, what schedule do you work, how li g are you home, what condition are the trucks & trailers, anything else you want to know.
