You may want to consider Wolfe Trucking out of Van Nuys, CA. My husband spoke to them and he would have been hired if not for the being out for weeks on end requirement. They said it is not a possibility, it is part of working for this company.
He isn't home right now, but I think this is their contact info:
7131 Valjean Ave
Van Nuys, CA 91406
Phone: (818) 376-6963
Hope this helps someone.
