    Thanks, I sent off an email to both. If they reply back maybe go visit before I start school. Either one will be pretty close to me

    There's a company in the flowood area called L.E. Tucker and son. I have seen about 10 trucks total at their yard. I could be wrong on the name though, will double check when I drive by there tomorrow. All the trailers were reefers though

    Thanks again dave75. I did a search, found a general company profile but that was about it. I hope the school down in Saucier will have more info on smaller carriers.

    just an update gravelhauler, I did get a call today from Jordan, they require a year of experience. But it does say to keep a eye on them for the future. I figure if a company will take the time to at least reply back to some one who has'nt made to school yet means they check their email every now and then
     
    gravelhauler Thanks this.

    You live in Nevada that should be a pretty good hot spot for small mom and pop companies.

    It is Chompi, but it is time to head home and the south. been out here for 20 years which is 19years and 3weeks too long. and it also seems, most of the otr companies I am interested in only want to hire teams out in the west.

    Have you checked into the mining companies out there? A lot of small companies set up shop in NV for tax purposes.
