    Gotta say, you don't ask for much. It's my understanding that if you have not been employed driving a truck within the last three years that you will have to get "re-certified" so you will have to deal with that. If I'm wrong someone will correct me. I think if you cut down your wish list by about half or more, you got it made.

    This one looks like it might tick off the "deliver to rural locations" box. Wish I knew more. I don't mind winter areas, so that's not a problem. Pretty much all their listings say home on weekends, but I just want to live in the truck, maybe they have something that's a little more productive.

    Call the recruiter for details. I don't want to post something that may not be accurate. I think you have to work there 12 months.
    @lual has that information.

    But I know there are some companies out there that are known for the Western 11 experience. What are they?

    I think you would be hard pressed finding a company that does 11 western and does not do L.A. or surrounding area, which basically is most of "southern California". I have to ask, what is the difference between L.A., San Francisco, Seattle, Atlanta and Austin?
