    Sorry to hear that...

    I think it's a good place to work but not every company will be a good fit for every driver.

    Stay Safe wherever you land.

    Harris Trucking out of Lynchburg. They get a bad wrap but they treat people fair. If you are a hard runner they tend to scale back on the ne. I ran alot of ohio, va, ky, nc/sc, tn. Was there for over 3 years

    Not sure what kind of freight you like to run but, my understanding "Best Specialized" is a decent company. They are about 25 minutes from me over in South Point, OH. The company they bought out was H&W, I drove for them back in the early 90's, they treated us good. Haul a lot of Railroad stuff. Don't know about Best but you can give them a jingle. I'm racking my brains for a name,friend went to work for a company and he loves it. Home weekends no problems, fairly short runs, 100-400 miles one way I think. I'll try to ask him for sure.

    If you don't mind physical activity, burns motor freight out of marlinton wv might be worth calling.

    It's just as difficult to google something instead of asking on a thread,as it is to just give out a recommendation instead of telling somebody to google it.

    To everybody else that contributed,thanks!

    Yes, as if coming to a community of TRUCKERS and asking for quality information and feedback isn't doing research...

    Coming here is exactly where I came upon the place I drive for... As well as a few other quality leads... Google won't tell you what actual drivers say about a company.

    My reason not to work for them dorsn't have anything to do with me thinking it's a bad company,there are other significant reasons for it that I don't want to post publicly.

    Urial trucking, based in the Southside of Richmond right off of Chipenham pkw and Jeff Davis.
    Watkins Shepard, closest yard is somewhere in the middle of NC, I live just south of Richmond, when I spoke to WS, I live too far away. I don't recall whether their hiring radius was 150 or 250 miles.

    No worries ... Like I said, not every company is a good fit for every driver... No matter the reasons... Many other quality companies to find.
