    OK I am an ex Swiftie. I drove for them for 1 year and 10 months. I am currently working a desk for the last 3 months so that I could be at home and well..... I guess I have the fever cuz all I can think about is running the road.

    I know, I know some will say I am sick, others will know exactly how I feel and what I am speaking of. :biggrin_2551:

    Don't get me wrong, I love home time and time with the wife and kids but .... I miss the road.

    I am looking for ideas on companies to work for. I live in Southern Oregon, Medford to be exact. My MVR is clean, My PSP is almost spotless, I am Canada Legal and I have my TWIC Card.

    My vehicle of choice is anything with a 13 speed, no governer, paper logs and no qualcom and we will work our way back from there.

    And yes .... I enjoy going to Canada :biggrin_25526:

    I am way open to anything except Mexico, the last thing we need there is a fat white guy that does not speak the language.

    Thanks all in advance. :biggrin_25525:

    Call Landstar and get a list of owners who need drivers. They usually pay percentage which is good when you go into Canada. Canada loads pay good. Paper logs, no QC and truck will likely run 75 or better.

    You could try DHE....we run the I-5, no quallcomm, paper logs, check out www.godependable.com

    You could be through the house every 2nd or third day....and close to weekends at home. L.A. to Kent is common.
