Hi all,

Anybody know of any OTR/Regional carriers here on the east coast that specializes in hauling End Dump freight?? ie: Coal, Gravel, Grain, Scrap Metal, Wood Chips, Anything?

This is where most of my expertise is...

If anyone knows of even just one company, please let me know.

Check out Montgomery Bulk, they're based in Coleman Florida and run a regional/OTR division, with hometime every other weekend, run up through your area quite a bit. My buddy is with them right now and seems to like them, pay is 25% to start i think, and they pay your deadhead miles after 50 miles, PM me if you have any questions, if i can't answer them, i'll get with my friend for the answers.

CDJ Bulk Express out of Columbia,SC. All late model, O/O spec'd Pete's and a few XL's. 800-955-4963 ask for Papa John.(John Papovich) It's a great company that takes care of their drivers. Only reason I'm not still there, is because I moved to TX and they don't hire out of TX. Percentage pay in the 22 eastern states.

Might give Oakley Trucking..Little Rock AR a call...they run a ton of end-dumps as well as tanker and pneumatics.

******UPDATE******

I called CDJ and Montgomery today.

CDJ doesn't hire in KY right now, but they were interested (if I lived in SC,NC, or GA)

Montgomery Bulk called me back and said they could work with me with my local coal hauling time. Now, I just need to wait until they call me back again (Checking MVR, etc). The only problem I have with Montgomery is that the recruiter mentioned I'd have to make my own way down to Florida to orientation. Might not be able to afford that right now...

Oakley seems to be an all O/O company, unless I'm looking at the wrong one..

thanks to all for the replies.

If anyone else has anything to add as far as information on other OTR/Regional End Dump carriers, please post it for me.

Thx

Any company who will NOT pay for you to make it to orientation should bring red flags out in full view. I have seen too many drivers go to orientation just to be sent home again.

You do what you want....I wouldn't go unless they sent me something in writing that I was HIRED! That way, if they send you home, again, at your expence, you can at least sue for the money your out.

Just my .02

I hadn't planned on going with them. I, like you, saw that as quite odd..

Local coal business should pick up again late Feb, early Mar. Maybe I'll get called back soon from layoff. Who knows.

I just hate to sit.

sorry about the misinformed "montgomery" post, i didn't know that you had to make your way down to florida on your own expense, my friend lives about 20 minutes from me, and he in turn lives about 20 minutes from the terminal. They do keep you steady, and he seems to be doing okay as far as money goes, he's on a load from Jax, Fl to just west of Nashville, pays a little over 392.00 dollars, i guess that's not too bad, i don't know, and haven't really broken down the numbers, i like my local job so i just tend to stay away from even looking in to OTR companys. I checked out CDJ's website, and their trucks are leaps and bounds above montgomerys, and their hometime is every weekend, not too bad. Good luck whatever it is you decide.

Are there any APAC Construction yards in your area?? You might check them out..APAC is a Ashland Chemical company.
