    A certain popular thread about a certain Werner driver provides the perfect illustration of why that could be a problem. :)

    Yes, Roehl DOES hire from that area! Why not give the recruiter a call?

    Roehl has always shot straight with me. No BS.

    Why not look at Abilene Motor Express? They have exploded recently. I might be concerned about them being able to meet all their apparent expectations, long term. But so far they seem to be a major carrier, for all others to contend with.

    Yes between those two I'd pick Swift but they have driver facing cameras so I hope the OP likes being spied on.

    Why not Millis. Way above the ones you are down to.

    Just a second ago I reapplied at Roehl this is copied and pasted

    We are not hiring in this area at this time. We hire from areas where freight moves so you can get home regularly and so we do not insert additional cost into our systems. If your situation changes in the future, you’re welcome to reapply.

    Charlotte, NC. I'd have thought virtually any/all carriers would be happy to hire from there. Who knew? There's also Knight transportation who has a terminal in Charlotte.

    I wonder if it's an issue related to trainers locations or fleet desired to drive in? Or maybe Roehl has changed moved away from a various fleets model to a general fleet model.
