    I would look into Maverick. I have never driven for them but I've heard a lot of good about them.
     
    Lepton1 and smokeyjoe09 Thank this.

    I believe (I may be wrong) Maverick runs east of I-35...so if you're looking for 48 states, you might wanna check this.
    How about System Transport? They're headquartered in Washington State, but they got 9 terminals. Closest to you would be Gary, IN. or Kansas City...then they span westward. But they DO run 48 states.

    Don't know anything about them (just thinking out loud), but I don't hear much bad about them either.

    There's Boyd out of Alabama also...but I don't know if they go 48 states any more (I remember they used to).

    I would look into a company like Lonestar out of Texas man. At least there you have opportunities to work your way up to oversize and haul steps, Rgns, extendables or whatever. @ the other companies they just haul the basic commodities such as building materials, steel etc... That's my advice but it depends on what your trying to put into it

    System and Melton are the two I think of most for 48 state flatbed.
    Maverick might be, I don't know but home weekends leads me to think not.
    BTC has an OTR fleet but again I'm not sure how true to all 48 that would be. @Gunner75 should be able to help answer that though.
    If you don't mind running 60 mph I see Prime's skateboards almost everywhere.
    And finally Western Express...they might run 48 states but you'd probably wanna quit before you made it to 5 of them lol
