    You might try A&M Transport or Thomas & Sons Distributing out of Oregon. RLT out of Redding, CA is another one you might call.

    Freymiller might be a good company but they have inward facing cameras.

    Bah. Doesn't sound like a good company to me. I loved my last job, but the inward facing cameras were a total deal-breaker. Not doing it.

    Check out H&M Trucking in Omaha, NE. I’ve been with them for 6 yrs and love it. We drive 2019 Volvo’s mostly and they all have fridge, apu and inverters. No cameras. Company paid SiriusXM radio. We run all 48 states and Canada but Canada is completely optional.

    You do list a lot of positives, and I am tanker-endorsed, but I don't know if I want the responsibility for hauling a liquid, especially smooth bore. Too many times this past year I have seen tankers forget the gravity of what they're hauling, and nearly take out a car in the next lane when they hit a curve too fast. Though it's pretty much always Kenan, it still makes me shudder.

    That actually sounds pretty great. There is something niggling at the back of my brain about why I didn't want to haul for Ashley, but I cannot recall what it was at the moment. For now, I will put them on my short list. Thanks, Chinatown!

    How's things going over there at H&M? Are you still with them? I'm thinking about giving them a look. What kind of miles are you getting?
