I am currently in school to obtain my CDL. With a little luck, I will graduate on September 16, 2016. I'm starting out with USA Truck for my first year and look forward to seeing what all this career path offers.

I will be testing for my CDL at the end of this coming week. Once I graduate, I am supposed to go work for USA Truck for my first year. Aside from the negativity I have already heard, I just realized that most of their hauls are east of the Mississippi River. It's unfortunate for me because I was planning on moving to southern Arizona next year. It's looking like that it will have to be put on hold due to the primary area of hauls. A lesson has been learned by this newby-to-be! Ask companies what area of the country most of their hauls go to BEFORE signing any kind of contract. Along this note, do any of you have suggestions of companies that DO have hauls in the west?

A Lesson Learned
I am about to start my final week of CDL training and am testing Thursday and Friday. Assuming I graduate with my CDL, I am to work for one year with USA Truck. Unfortunately, I just now realized their hauls seem to be primarily based in the east side of the country (east of the Mississippi). I was hoping to move to southeast Arizona soon but now I'm thinking it won't be happening for awhile. Does anyone know of any companies that are based in Arizona or have hauls that go there frequently?
P.S. This is somewhat of a cross-threaded post due to my lack of knowledge of the discussion areas.
