LC Transportation, WLA, Cooke, etc.
Lately I've been studying about some job prospects, and have been trying to find information about a few carriers, mostly LC Transportation in Pilot Mountain, NC. I know they haul a lot of FedEx stuff, but I don't know anything about their running area, hometime, solo/team status, etc. I've also been looking at running team with a friend of mine at Cooke Trucking or WLA, but I don't know much about them, other than what equipment I see.
Also, I've been reconsidering Howell's Motor Freight and maybe even Lawrence Transportation Systems out of Roanoke. If anyone has some info on these outfits, I'd be more than grateful to know about it. |
why not specialize in some area? if you're going for that dry, reefer, or common flatbed crap. i bet you won't make nearly as much as those in specialized commodities.

yeah, the geographic issue can be a cumbersome one. i can understand that.
i've been off for almost a week now. in about a week, i'll know where i'm going next. word in the office is that i may be sent to either prince edward island, upstate new york, somewhere north of vancouver, b.c., or nova scotia. the length of time away from home is unknown. i'll know once they are telling me and booking a flight for me. i can be gone for 2 or three days or 2 days to 3 months at a time. fortunately i'm not confined to a mobile jail cell. all the hotel stays are on their dime as well as the airplane tickets. the time home can range from 24hrs or up to 3 weeks. |
I can tell you that Lawrence doesn't pay crap... Its like .32 cents a mile and 13 hr for live unloads... Most of there Trucks are trash.. i personally would say no... I know Van Wyk out of Waynesboro is hiring, Can't Take the Truck home tho... There are home every weekend so what i hear..
