So, just out of curiosity, what is taking you to Tucamcari, ChopperBob???
I'm just a little jealous; I really dig the desert, especially in the Winter!! Sorry that I don't have any real advice to offer. I know that there is a reefer co. out that way called Mesilla Valley Transport, although I really know nothing else about them. Their drivers that I met always seemed nice to talk too, and their trucks seemed nice, but pulling a reefer never was my bag. C'mon, people!!! Surely someone out there in Cyber-land might have some info!! Wouldn't hurt to Google up some cities around there, and type in "Chamber of Commerce" into the search engine; The C.o.C. could in all likely hood help get you some information, a starting point, at least!! BOL2U!!!

MVT runs more dry van than reefer, and is based down in Las Cruses. About a 6 hour drive.

Wow! Isn't that a little low on the pay scale at MVT? Also it appears that they require 2 years experience unless you are an MVT school grad.
