    The answer to that is HIGHLY subjective. It all depends upon what someone considers good or bad. Good for you may be horrible for me and vice versa. Right now I'm running for a local bulk tanker outfit that also runs some vans. The pay is just ok, the trucks are just ok, and some of the equipment (trailers mainly) is pure crap, but..... The place is very laid back, rarely has appointment times (except van back hauls:biggrin_25510:), has fast trucks 76+, and has decent insurance for $20/week for a single, and I am home pretty much everyday unless they have some expedited loads out of state and then those pay very well to make it worth being away from home overnight. I'm still scouring the ads, internet & newspapers to find that "perfect" driving job and in 20 years, I haven't found it yet :biggrin_25523:

    Seeing that you live in Frankfort why not look into RG Transport in Elwood In.

    Syndicate Sales in Kokomo has a great rep.
