Hey 41 from Philly, Pa. been driving for 8 years now. Started out driving tow trucks/ heavy wreaker. i quickly moved to landoll and lowboy hauling equipment. took a break for a year to run the road and do flatbed hauling predominantly steel, coils, ibeams, pipe, sheet rock, lumber, building materials. currently work for a large scale rental company thats a union position with great pay and benefits but with horrible management, company ideals, and employee treatment. looking to transition back to regional or OTR. looking for best options, and companies out there. pays important but being treated fair is even more important.

Best Regional/OTR Companies for Experienced Drivers
Hey All, Im brand new here, based out of Philly area. Been driving for 8 years now, predominantly worked local as a heavy equipment hauler. Good pay, and benefits. But.......I might as well be OTR or Regional as we are worked to the bone out in the elements unloading and loading landoll or lowboy trailers in any weather condition you can imagine. im experienced but dont think i know it all thats for sure. looking to find out the best OTR/Regional companies for experienced driver to move to. I ran flatbed before for PGT and it was okay when i got linked up with a good dispatcher/driver manager. i took the local job becuase of union benefits. but theres so much politics and bs involved working amongst the same people managers trying to force loads on you lasts minute. im looking for a good balance of pay/benefits as well as employee/company relations. appreciate all the good input. thanks Enzo.
