    Closest pilot to me would be around a hour or so each way. For me that’ll make a long day longer. Thought about it though, same with loves/gemini.

    There are 996,894 for-hire carriers, 813,440 private carriers, and 83,235 other interstate motor carriers in the USA. I don't have the time to thoroughly research down to the nitty-gritty on each company. The driver should do his due diligence and do that. I give names of companies based on the questions the driver asked and the driver takes it from there.

    Much appreciated for the help with a starting point last year, and this time as well. Rest is on the driver to do their homework and decide.

    I once had a trainee on my truck and he disappeared there. Went AWOL I guess.

    Thanks. Still at Leonard’s. Keep thinking what others have suggested, wait and see if things change by March or April. Have talked with two others from this site about some places.

    Yes was emailing with them. Answered lots of questions I had. But wasn’t thrilled with hometime being the middle of the week and barely 48 hours. Hard to spend time with the wife when she’s works during the week. Plus they test for sleep apnea, I don’t have it. But don’t want to add a potential headache for something I won’t be happy at.
