I would say ANY of them...it's not the company so much as your dispatcher...if you let your dispatcher know you want to run, then they will more than likely let you run...BUT, just don't be under the impression that because you ran hard for them longer than you normally would, that it would allow you to be home longer than normal, UNLESS you clear it FIRST..like Brett keeps saying, ALL companies make money by keeping the wheels turning...the longer you stay in the truck and keep rolling the more money everybody makes..just don't burn yourself out...
Yeah, Roadkill is right - any company would pretty much be fine. If you're planning on staying out all the time then the first thing that comes to mind for me is do you want to run all lower 48 states or just certain regions? If you're looking for all of the lower 48, I would get on with a refrigerated carrier. They run a lot more coast to coast. If you're looking to stay in a particular region, I would look at dry van companies. They tend to have a lot more shorter runs and regionalized freight.
Usually refers to a driver hauling freight within one particular region of the country. You might be in the "Southeast Regional Division" or "Midwest Regional". Regional route drivers often get home on the weekends which is one of the main appeals for this type of route.
Thanks. I would want lower 48. I'm single no commitments. I'm thinking of selling my house. It's my understanding all you really need is a permanent address. I have lots of relatives that own homes so I could use there address. Better to pay them to take care of my mail than to rent a place I would never be in. That way I could stay out as long as the company would allow.
