Try Nussbaum hear great thing about them

 

There are some threads here on the Forum that are quite long.

Specifically, these are about certain carriers; judging by most of the posts there, the thread participants also drive there -- & generally appear to be content.

Since the thread participants also drive there -- these threads also offer a wealth of info on what each carrier has to offer.

Examples:

• Fremont Contract Carriers
• Climate Express
• Indian River Transport

You might investigate these further.

Honestly I'm shocked at how many companies still pay 50cpm

 

Honestly, Ive always liked running line haul for LTL carriers. Ive worked at USF Dugan, Midland Transportation, R&L Carriers, Estes, USF Holland, and a few others. I was at Holland the longest (3 years) but I think if I sold my truck and went back to work I would go to Estes.

You get to bounce around the country if thats what you want, or stay on a set schedule running back and forth. Depending on where you are, you have have some dock work to break up the trip which is sometimes nice (not my personal favorite but some other guys love it). Its mostly night work - which I LOVE personally (less traffic - quicker to get through construction zones) but not for everyone for sure.

Its an option. And most pay pretty good and usually pretty good bennies also.

 

If I'm in Chicagoland, they'd definitely be my first call.

I think the less experienced or the drivers that have had hiccups are the ones that get 50 cpm. I'd even venture to say that companies that are huge and go all 48 seem to pay a little on the lower side too.
