[QUOTE="haulit6272, post: 8433290, member: 221210"]I'm flexible. I've tried numerous zip codes in the site's search box, along with "I Need CDL Training" from the drop down list, (which greatly filters the search) just to see who pops up. Seattle, San Diego, Vegas, Denver, Albuquerque, Dallas, Nashville, Pensacola, Atlanta, Raleigh. Initially when I started searching, CRST came up for all, and TMC came up for two.
