    OTR driver looking for a good long haul job with a SMALL company. 25 trucks or less. REEFER or VAN. Wide open on home time. No real limit on staying out, if I can get what I need. Doing temp runs until the right long haul job comes along again.

    My major priority is getting into a solid, reliable, well maintained truck. Without that nothing else matters. I will not destroy my hard earned clean record by running junk equipment. Actually do pre trips, especially the first one, and I find pretty much everything. Prefer a truck with a little wheelbase, strong power, decent sleeper, preferably stick shift, 75 mph.

    My ideal job would be cross country runs or big mile OTR. 3k miles a week or better consistently. Capable of 4k+ miles in a week, even on Elogs.

    Looking for reasonable pay for my experience. I can do W2, or 1099 with some conditions. I don't pay bonds or escrow, and I don't sign any predatory contracts. A basic contract is fine.

    About me:
    30+ years experience. Mainly vans and reefers. All lower 48 states. Every transmission up to 18 speed, wheelbases to 290. CDL A with tanker. 2 year DOT physical, March 2026. Completely clean MVR, PSP, and Clearinghouse. No criminal record ever. No drugs EVER. Lifetime NON smoker. I don't drink alcohol. No DUIs EVER. Good physical condition. Can still pass an Army PT test easily. Have some videos on my YouTube channel to back it up. Sergeant Trucker. 8 year active duty US Army infantry veteran, 86 - 94, Honorable.

    Based in Rochester, Indiana currently.

    I am a real truck driver, and I did write this all by myself. For the benefit of any trolls out there.

    I don't deal with recruiters. If you have junk equipment, serious problems with the DOT, a history of screwing drivers, or you hire dopehead drivers then don't waste my time. I do check, and I will find it. Hell bent on avoiding any more dead ends.
