    Gordon was my first choice. Unfortunately they reduced their hiring area so they won't consider me.

    I'm the OP. I'm from Washington. I will look into Gordon. Also, anyone know the status of Knight?

    There is plenty written in here about knight.
    They have some interesting hometime policies but the pay is quite low.
    Equipment not so good..
     
    low22 Thanks this.

    I also tried Knight. I was going to start a new thread about this but I guess I can vent here. I have calls in to Knight, Navajo and a couple others. All I get is voice mail and no return calls.
    That is recruiters in my area. WTF? I thought there was a shortage of drivers.

    low22, this might be a common problem.

    tow614, Great avatar!

    Try Central Oregon Truck Company and Watkins & Shepard.
    Watkins & Shepard has 3 terminals in WA.

    Ha-ha. Put some salve on that itch, nail down that local job. You'll be way, way ahead.

    Long haul's not going away. It'll be there.

    And a rude awakening.
     
    tow614 and low22 Thank this.
