This is the same question you asked three months ago.

Virginia to Alaska runs? Check out the Weather Channel show, "Highway Through Hell". That should give you an idea of what you could encounter any time from September through May.

Good luck.

Already watched the show and I'm aware of the issues with winter driving. Not like can't drive elsewhere during the bad weather months if need be.

Thank you.

I graduated from trucking school in March of this year and have an X endorsement. I'm currently residing in Virginia, nearish to Roanoke. I was wondering about companies or owner operators who how drivers who might make long runs to Alaska or into Canada. Prefer to have drop and hook but really just prefer minimal stops after past employer (currently jobless because they wanted me to run a truck without eld longer than eight days). I'm totally fine going to remote locations! Prefer automatic but can drive manual. Pet and rider would be a bonus. Anyone know any jobs similar to this or am I just dreaming?

Hey guys!

I'm going to be graduating from CDL school in the next week or so and was wondering if anyone could give pointers on companies that are good to join for OTR work. Bonus points if they go to Canada and Alaska! So far we've had recruiters from Stevens Transport, Fleetmaster, Schneider, Cooke Transport, and Werner come to talk to us but I know there are a ton more companies out there.

I've started researching companies but the issue I've run into is that if you look at reviews and what people say on sites like Indeed or Glassdoor, you come away with the impression ALL companies are horrible. That's why I'm hoping some of you all will give your opinions on companies you've worked for / are working for.

I know I would like OTR work but wouldn't be opposed to regional work (no local!). I don't really mind being away from home for a few weeks (no kids or husband). I prefer solo driving if possible as well as the ability to have someone ride along (or a pet ride along). I have no areas I won't drive to other than into cities (can I yes, would I want to, uh no. LOL). I do have an X endorsement and am not opposed to hazard hauling!

Sorry for the super long post, any suggestions, comments, etc on companies or what to ask/look for would be HUGELY appreciated!
