I have been driving for 2.5 years now and have worked for a few large and a few small companies. I have found that one problem is the fact that I live in Southern Utah so for some reason it is a problem to route me home. I have heard several recruiter "promises" and most have not been true. I have no drug/alcohol issues and my MVR is perfect.

I want to know if there is a company out there that offers the following:

1. 11,000+ constant miles per month solo
2. Mid-west to west coast (no east, or at least very little)
3. 2005 or newer equipment
4. .34 min. cpm
5. Reasonable cost for family medical
6. Home every 7 days or sooner (through the house OK)

I am really tired of switching companies and want to find a "home". I am thinking about Pride out of SLC, however I am beginning to think I just need to find a different career.

Try www.hillbros.com or www.transportdesigninc.com . Both reputable companies .

Have you looked at Gordon? I am surprised you would have a tough time getting home. Do you live along I-15? If so that's a pretty major traffic lane.

Thats what i been gathering
Once you pass the 2 year mark (and have a good safety record)
you can go just about anywhere you like.
If you have less than 2 yrs you are at the mercy of these drivers mills.
Both of those companies you posted look pretty interesting.

Have you talked to Knight.

Run the regions you want to run. Get home when you want to get home. Get at least 10,000 miles per month, though 12,000 is very possible....or the equivalent in pay (very easy to get detention and local pay when needed).

AVG age of trucks is 2.5 years. Dry van mostly run Volvo 670.

I know England has a place in SLC, but I know nothing about them as a company.

I would be willing to bet an "Internet Dollar" that they would promise him the world.....then send him to the NE and run him in circles for a month or two :evil: If anyone has doubts about "England" just click the "Search" button at the top of the page and use them as the "searchword".....and start reading :shock:

Just substitute "Amway" everytime you read England and you will get the picture.
