    Try Gary Amoth Trucking in Twin Falls.
    That may not work if you're moving to the east side though.
    I live in Kimberly.

    Worked for him for a little while and they are a stand up outfit — would be my first choice depending on how the move goes. An outfit like them on the East side would absolutely fit the bill.
     
    BryE Thanks this.

    We went through the Bering on the 86 WESTPAC ported in Pusan — a lot of Oscars made it tolerable

    To be clear I don't work for them, but have heard good things.
    It's good to know you like them. I always want options.

    Doug Andrus has heavyhaul flats, hopper trains, and heavy reefers that run regional in addition to their OTR flats and reefers.

    James Pocock - hopper trains
    Crapo - live bottom trailers
    Arlo G Lott - heavyhaul flats, hopper trains, commodity trailers, OTR flats
    McNabb - hopper trains, maybe home daily

    Wilson Logistics has a Western 11 and a NW heavyhaul fleet now.

    FLD,
    Thank you for the names, I’ll spend some time running them to ground. Question — are Wilson and Jim Palmer one in the same?
     
    Long FLD Thanks this.

    Thank you —- have heard some pretty positive things about both outfits — you reckon the fella holds a CDL — can’t tell if he looks like a dude or not.

    Smart guy; he owns about 4 or 5 trucking companies.

    I know, that came out all wrong — my limited attempts at social media humor have not worked out well — you can probably figure out why I made 2nd class twice. Just wondering how the outfit treated the folks that make the money.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    A few have posted on here and really like the company or his companies.
    I was a hashmark E-3 and proud of it! I was in China earlier this year and it's just as wild now as back then. My buddy, a driver in Tennessee goes to Philippines to see his girlfriend and he says it still a dream for guys to visit. He was a seaman on a supply ship at one time.
