Default Question about region opportunities

Hello all, long time no see. I just wanted to ask a general question to all you guys about all your companies.

Does the company you work for have any midwest regional opportunities? By this I mean you would run nothing but the midwest. If so, could you please let me know what company that is so I can contact them and get more info? Thanks in advance.

Tom

If I think of any I'll let you know. One that comes to mind MIGHT be JB Hunt's PPG accont. They have a plant off of RT28 near New Ken. Sheepdancer could answer that better for you though.

Also try the Pittsbugh Post Gazette's web site, Every sunday the help wanted section is load with driving jobs and I have seen many that say midwest. Look under transportation in the help wanted section.

Can anyone else point me in the right direction here? Does anyone work for/know of any companies that would allow you to run nothing but the midwest? Please, let me know. Thanks in advance.

A lot of the mega-carriers have a midwest region. Start visiting their websites and looking at the regional maps. For example, here's Roehl Transport's midwest region map.

If you're looking for a midwest region that can get you home to PA...that may be a tougher nut to crack....

Try calling Knight. Unless they changed since I was there they were no forced dispatch, pick your running area(s).
