You're gonna need to talk with Swift, Knight Transportation, Gordon Trucking, Schneider National....see if they will give you the break you are hoping for.

It's been to long since I was out on the Peninsula...and I dought that any of the trucking companies I knew of back in the late 80's and thru the 90's are still working out there. Walsh Brothers was the big "take-over artist" for chip hauling...but I don't know what is happening out that way anymore. Is the mill in Port Angeles still operating? Hoakium still has mills I know...so that gives you a good chance with some of those companies I mentioned.

Just be sure to keep the suspension out in front on any of your talks.....................with any prospective employer.

It is a beautiful area to live in, out there around Forks.....but it is so backwater that there just isn't much of anything for jobs.
