    It seems all the companies mentioned here are based out of the East. Are there any good OTR companies based in the west? Preferably dry van or dry bulk tanker. There must be, but it just seems like all the companies discussed on this forum are east of Colorado with a handful of Utah-based outfits.

    Why isn't anyone talking about companies from Nevada and the West coast? If I decided to go to one of the companies out there then I'd be diving in the dark.

    You were asking about east coast companies in your other thread; specifically around Johnson City,Tennessee.
    Plenty of companies hire in Nevada.
    There's been several threads on here about people wanting to relocate to Nevada or Arizona and asking about trucking jobs in those states.

    Hang around the truckers report long enough and you will find the answers to what you are seeking.

    Nobody in their right mind would have a nationwide company, based in Ca.
    They've been chasing companies out of Ca. for years.
    I could go on and on and....

    That seems to be the consensus.
