OTR Co that will let me drive and operate out west?

Hello everyone, I am a recent CDL-A graduate and I would like an over the road trucking job where I can drive out west through the ozarks, the great plains, through the desert and mountains of the pacific northwest to the west coast. I don't care too much for the east coast all that much. I live in Alabama and I am new at this so any tips would be much appreciated. I would like to operate a flatbed someday (not trained yet) but that's my dream is to be an OTR flatbed driver. I have my Tanker endorsement but not the doubles/triples or hazmat.

 

So, you're a hillbilly like me. I'm from Tennessee.
If you want flatbed, then go for it, no need to wait. Flatbed companies hire new cdl school grads and train them on load securement, etc before sending them on their way.
Two coast-to-coast flatbed companies that hire new cdl school grads and hire in 48 states are:
Home | Paul Transportation | A Top Transportatio
&
Premiere OTR Flatbed Trucking Company - Melton Truck Lines

 

Here's 2 more that hire new cdl school grads in 48 states and run coast-to-coast:
Thompson, Inc.
THOMPSON TRUCKING COMPANY. Thompson Inc. is an interstate carrier headquartered in Quincy, IL that operates in all 48 states.

Thank you everyone! I will look in to those companies. I sure would like to see the desert someday ridin' high in my ole big truck lol.

 

I would steer clear of McElroy if I were you. They’re a strange, eccentric outfit. I would pick Melton out of those two.

May Trucking has a terminal in Pensacola, FL. You’ll run out west a lot with them as they’re headquartered in Brooks, OR.

 

If you want to see the country (Good & Bad), hire on to a Coast-to-Coast Reefer Produce Hauling company.

 

This. As long as you don't mind running in and out of California, you'll run across the desert a lot!

 

The desert is nice; I moved here from Tennessee.

 

Right, a good coast-to-coast reefer company.
