Was wondering about their nation wide fleet but my situation is that I need to stay regional (PWN) so no questions presently on them. Thanks anyhow.

I talked to them a few years ago and back then they had a PNW regional which pulled 40' 20' doubles. I still see those sets running out here so they may still have it.

I have no desire to pull doubles/triples. That is what makes driving for a Oregon based company so difficult. Everyone wants D/T and Hazmat. Right now looking at intermodel freight since Portland has so much of it in the area.

I work for them. they do have western 11, pnw, if you just want to run i-5 you can do that. you don't have to pull doubles. been with them a year haven't touched a double. You don't "have" to have hazmat, or doubles on your lic.

Been pretty happy with them, and if you and your dispatcher don't get along, you can ask to be put on another dispatcher's board. I may be using this very soon. they changer dispatcher's on me, and we are not clicking. Trying to give her a chance, but don't think it's going to work out.

they run me hard when i want to run hard, and ease up when i need little break.

Local driving, I am finding out, means lumping loads. I can't lift 50 pounds on a continous basis. I don't want to lump any loads or even try moving freight around with a pallet jack. Pallet jacks are still a problem at times. D/H freight is my best bet.
