    Or if you like Las Vegas; dispatch yourself and your pet to Las Vegas.
    USA Truck, you can do that.

    Right outside of Philly you'll have no problem. Get your tanker/hazmat tons and tons of that type of work around there

    Clean Harbors is in South Jersey, they have some sleeper trucks. I don’t know what they’re experience requirements are but the way those guys drive I can’t imagine it’s too much.

    Perdue is right down on the DelMarVa, they always seem to have nice equipment.

    I recently saw the "Undercover Boss" episode about Clean Harbors. Yeah, it was hilarious seeing the total disconnect from the top levels as to what goes into driving a truck for them and why they had trouble attracting and retaining talent.

    Maybe that would be something to watch before applying there? The compare it to what their attitudes are today.

    How this 'Undercover Boss' shocked his employees when his identity was revealed

    You mean that training school that uses the petro in bordentown NJ as a backing course? I see those guys there all the time. Honestly the training from the school and the training on the road are very different. I would start off a company with a good training program that actually trains you instead of uses you as an extra logbook. I hear Schneider has a great training program.

    I know. I was pretty disappointed honestly but Im learning everything I can. Training there is bare minimum enough to pass DOT test. Instructors are great but understaffed and over crowded. I practice in cab and double clutching in my pickup truck because i dont feel like theres enough time at school. It just a means to an end, I know i will need and look forward to additional training

    Kmt is in the Pureland industrial park in Logan, Twp, Erdners Bros in Sweedsboro, MJD Mill Rd, Vineland, Delaware Valley Florist on Mantua Blvd in Sewell, JB logistics out of Sewell.

    Local would be Torrissi, Riggins, Delaware Valley, Campbell’s Express, Kmt, MJD, First Choice Freezer, Mcclane, US Foods, Wilke (Trash haulers).

    Screw the mega’s. The local companies will treat you better and pay you better
